Janet Mendel-Hartvig and RoderickA. Capaldi* Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 Received July 6, 1990; Revised Manuscript Received October 17, 1990 abstract; The rate of trypsin cleavage of the e subunit of Escherichia coli F,(ECFj) has been found to be ligand-dependent, as measured indirectly by the activation of the enzyme that occurs on protease digestion, or when followed directly by monitoring the cleavage of this subunit using monoclonal antibodies. The cleavage of the e subunit was fast in the presence of ADP alone, ADP+ Mg2+, ATP+ EDTA, or AMP-PNP, but slow when Pj was added along with ADP+ Mg2+ or when ATP+ Mg2+ was added to generate ADP+ Pj (+ Mg2+) in the catalytic site (s). The half-maximal concentration of Pj required in the presence of ADP+ Mg2+ to protect the e subunit from cleavage by trypsin was 50/uM, which is in the range measured for the high-affinity binding of Pj to F,. The ligand-dependent conformational changes in the t subunit were also examined in cross-linking experiments using the water-soluble carbodiimide 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl] carbodiimide (EDC). In the presence of ATP+ Mg2+ or ADP+ Mg2++ Pj, the e subunit cross-linkedto (3 in high yield. With ATP+ EDTA or ADP+ Mg2+(no Pj), the yield of the/3-e cross-linked product was much reduced. We conclude that the e subunit undergoes a conformational change dependent on the presence of Pj. It has been found previously that binding of the e subunit to ECFj inhibitsATPase activity by decreasing the off rate of Pj [Dunn, S. D., Zadorozny, VD, Tozer, RG, & Orr, L. E.(1987) Biochemistry 26, 4488-4493]. This reciprocal relationship between P, binding and e-subunit conformation has important implications for energy transduction by the E. coli ATP synthase.
