Robert Adolfsent and Evangelos N. Moudrianakis* abstract: The ATPase activity of the 13S coupling factor of oxidative phosphorylation from Alcaligenes faecalis was en-hanced by both monovalent and divalent cations. Activation by Mg2+ involves formation of a readily reversible metal-enzyme complex and not the formation of Mg-ATP. The variety of divalent cations that could stimulate the enzyme was much more restricted when monovalent cations were present in the reaction mixture. For example, Ca2+ activated just as well as Mg2+ in the absence of K+ but had no effect at all in the presence of K+. The magnitude of metal ion activation varied with ATP concentration. The extent of K+ activation decreased with increasing ATP concentration, while that of Mg2+ increased with increasing ATP concentration. At low ATP concentration K+ activated much more strongly than Mg2+. The enhancement of activity by either K+ or Mg2+ alone involves an increase in eitherthe catalytic constant or the rate of release of products or both, without alteration of the affinity of the enzyme for ATP. However, the mechanisms of action n. L Vecent efforts of this laboratory have been directed to-ward the elucidation of the reactions occurring between adenine nucleotides and the 13S coupling factors of oxidative and photosyntheticphosphorylation and especially the trans-formations occurring within the enzyme-nucleotide complex. An understanding of the binding process and the intercon-versions of coupling factor-bound nucleotides should lead to a better understanding of the chemical steps involved in the synthesis of ATP. The homogeneous 13S coupling factor isolated from spinach chloroplasts, CFi,* 1** binds 2 mol of ADP and converts some of it into AMP and ATP by means of a transphosphorylation reaction (Roy and Moudrianakis, 1971). Similar findings have been reported concerning the 13S, heat-labile coupling factor (HLF) of oxidative phosphorylation from the Gram-negative bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis (Adolfsen and Moudrianakis, 1973). One possible explanation of these results is that the reaction represents the terminal step in the synthesis of ATP in both oxidative and photo-synthetic phosphorylation.
