The topology of the and subunit of theEscherichia coliadenosinetriphosphatase (ECF1) has been explored by proteinase digestion and chemical labeling methods. The δ subunit of ECF1could be cleaved selectively by reaction of the enzyme complex with very low amounts of trypsin (1:5000, w/w). Cleavage of the δ subunit occurred serially from the C-terminus. The N-terminal fragments of the δ subunit remained bound to the core ECF1complex through sucrose gradient centrifugation, indicating that part of the binding of this subunit involves the N-terminal segment. ECF1, in which around 20 amino acids had been removed from the C-terminus of δ, still bound to ECF0but DCCD sensitivity of the ATPase activity was lost. When ECF1was reacted withN-ethyl[14C]maleimide ([14C]NEM) in the native state, only one of the two Cys residues on the δ subunit was modified. This residue, Cys-140, was also labeled in ECF1F0. Cys-140 was shown to be involved in the disulfide bridge between α and δ subunits that is generated when ECF1is treated with CuCl2. Thus, the C-terminal part of the δ subunit around Cys-140 can interact with the core ECF1complex. These results suggest a model for the δ subunit in which the central part of polypeptide is a part of the stalk, with both N- and C-termini associated with ECF1.
