Four homologous antibiotics, nonactin, monactin, dinactin, and trinactin, were studied for their effect on oxidative phosphorylation and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) induction. Nonactin, monactin, dinactin, and trinactin uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation at a concentration of 1 x 10-7 [image] and partially uncoupled at 1 x 10-8 [image]. All 4 homologs induced ATP hydrolysis. Monactin, dinactin, and trinactin were more potent inducers of ATPase activity than nonactin. A monovalent cation, Na+, K+, Rb+, or Cs+, was required for the action of the antibiotics. None of the nonactin homologs was active in the presence of Li+ as the cation. At low antibiotic concentrations (1 x 10-7 [image] and below), less ATPase activity was induced in the presence of Na+ than in the presence of K+, Rb+, or Cs+. At low monovalent cation concentrations (7.5 m[image]), greatest activity was observed in the presence of Rb+. The antibiotics are potent uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and inducers of ATPase activity with their activity possibly mediated through an effect on monovalent cation transport. The nonactin homologs were comparable in activity to valinomycin and less active than gramicidins A-D as measured by ATPase induction. The monovalent cation requirement of the nonactin homologs differentiated their activity from that of valinomycin, tyrocidine, and gramicidins A-D.
