Abstract

Conditions have been reported under which the F1 moiety of bovine heart ATP synthase catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP by an apparently cooperative mechanism in which the slow rate of hydrolysis at a single catalytic site (unisite catalysis) is enhanced more than 10(6)-fold when ATP is added in excess to occupy one or both of the other two catalytic sites (multisite catalysis) (Cross, R. L., Grubmeyer, C., and Penefsky, H. S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12101-12105). In the novel studies reported here, and in contrast to the earlier report, we have (a) monitored the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis of F1 by using nucleotide-depleted preparations and a highly sensitive chemiluminescent assay; (b) followed the reaction immediately upon addition of F1 to ATP, rather than after prior incubation with ATP; and (c) used a reaction medium with Pi as the only buffer. The following observations were noted. First, regardless of the source of enzyme, bovine or rat, and catalytic conditions (unisite or multisite), the rates of hydrolysis depend on ATP concentration to the first power. Second, the first order rate constant for ATP hydrolysis remains relatively constant under both unisite and multisite conditions declining only slightly at high ATP co...Continue Reading
