By using gel filtration chromatography, following the technique of Hummel and Dreyer (Hummel, J., and Dreyer, W. (1962) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 63, 532-534), the adenine nucleotide-binding sites of isolated soluble chloroplast ATPase (CF1) and of the beta subunit were studied. CF1 possesses six adenine nucleotide-binding sites: two high affinity sites for ADP or ATP (KdH = 1-5 microM) in addition to one site where endogenous not-exchangeable ADP is bound, and three low affinity sites binding ADP or ATP with a dissociation constant (KdL = 15-20 microM) which is considerably increased in the presence of pyrophosphate. KdH is not modified by addition of pyrophosphate. The stability of nucleotide binding at the low affinity sites increases after heat activation of CF1. Removal of the delta or epsilon subunits on CF1 affects neither the number nor the binding parameters of the nucleotide- binding sites. The purified beta subunit possesses one easily exchangeable site/subunit. It is proposed that the low affinity sites on CF1 are the catalytic sites.
