Occurrence and significance of oxygen exchange reactions catalyzed by mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase preparations

G. L. Choate, R. L. Hutton and P. D. Boyer

The capacity of various ATPase preparations from beef heart mitochondria to catalyze exchange of phosphate oxygens with water has been evaluated. Oligomycin-sensitive ATPase preparations retain a capacity for considerable intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange per Pi formed during ATP hydrolysis at relatively high ATP concentration (5 mM). Submitochondrial particles prepared by an ammonia-Sephadex procedure with 5 mM ATP showed more rapid ATPase, less oligomycin sensitivity, and less capacity for intermediate exchange. With these particles, intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange per Pi formed was increased as ATP concentration was decreased. The purified, soluble ATPase from mitochondria catalyzed little or no intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange at 5 mM ATP but showed pronounced increase in capacity for such exchange as ATP concentration was lowered. The ATPase also showed a weak catalysis of an ADP-stimulated medium Pi equilibrium HOH exchange. The results support the alternating catalytic site model for ATP synthesis or cleavage. They also demonstrate that a transmembrane protonmotive force is not necessary for oxygen exchange reactions. At lower ATP concentrations, ADP and Pi formed at a catalytic site appear to remain bound and continue to allow exchange of Pi oxygens until ATP binds at another site on the enzyme.
