Revised Manuscript Received September 21, 1987 abstract: Trypsin cleavage has been used to probe structure-function relationships of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase (ECFiF0). Trypsin cleaved all five subunits, a, f3, y, 8, and e, in isolated ECF!. Cleavage of the a subunit involved the removal of the N-terminal 15 residues, the (3 subunit was cleaved near the C-terminus, the y subunit was cleaved near Ser202, and the 8 and e subunits appeared to be cleaved at several sites to yield small peptide fragments. Trypsin cleavage of ECFi enhanced the ATPase activity between 6-and 8-fold in different preparations, in a time course that followed the cleavage of the e subunit. This removal of the e subunit increased multisite ATPase activity but not unisite ATPase activity, showing that the inhibitory role of the t subunit is due to an effect on cooperativity. The detergent lauryldimethylamine oxide was found to increase multisite catalysis andalso increase unisite catalysis more than 2-fold. Prolonged trypsin cleavage left a highly active ATPase containing only the a and (3 subunits along with two fragments of the y subunit. All of the subunits of ECFi were cleaved by trypsin in preparations of ECFiF0 at the same sites as in isolated ECFi. Twosubunits, the (3 and e subunits, were cleaved at the same rate in ECFiF0 as in ECFi alone. The a, y, and 5 subunits were cleaved significantly more slowly in ECFiF0. Subunit b of the F0 part was cleaved only slowly in ECFiF0, but the a, y, 8, and b subunits were all cleaved rapidly when the detergent lauryldimethylamine oxide was added to disrupt the interaction between ECFi and the
