Abstract 1. Coupling factor 1 from spinach chloroplast dissolved in 7 m urea strongly inhibited the ATPase activity of the coupling factor. The inhibitor was identified with the smallest of the five subunits of the coupling factor. 2. The inhibitor was isolated as a pure protein and was estimated to have a molecular weight of 13,000. The amino acid composition was different from that of the inhibitor of mitochondrial ATPase. Mitochondrial inhibitor inhibited only mitochondrial ATPase; chloroplast inhibitor inhibited only chloroplast ATPase. 3. The chloroplast inhibitor is much more insoluble than the mitochondrial inhibitor and can be kept in solution only in the presence of urea or detergents. Like the mitochondrial inhibitor the chloroplast inhibitor is stable to heat but very sensitive to trypsin. 4. The greater hydrophobicity and affinity of the chloroplast inhibitor to the coupling factor helps to explain some of the physiological differences of energy transduction in mitochondria and chloroplasts and is responsible for the failure of previous attempts to isolate it.
