Two subunits of the yeast ATP synthase have been
isolated. Subunit e was found loosely associated to the complex. Triton
X-100 at a 1% concentration removed this subunit from the ATP
synthase. The N-terminal sequencing of subunit i has been performed.
The data are in agreement with the sequence of the predicted product of
a DNA fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XIII. The ATP18 gene encodes subunit i, which is 59 amino acids
long and corresponds to a calculated mass of 6687 Da. Its pI is 9.73. It is an amphiphilic protein having a hydrophobic N-terminal part and a
hydrophilic C-terminal part. It is not apparently related to any
subunit described in other ATP synthases. The null mutant showed low
growth on nonfermentable medium. Mutant mitochondria display a low
ADP/O ratio and a decrease with time in proton pumping after ATP
addition. Subunit i is associated with the complex; it is not a
structural component of the enzyme but rather is involved in the
oxidative phosphorylations. Similar amounts of ATP synthase were
measured for wild-type and null mutant mitochondria. Because 2-fold
less specific ATPase activity was measured for the null mutant than for
the wild-type mitochondria, we make the hypothesis that the observed
decrease in the turnover of the mutant enzyme could be linked to a
proton translocation defect through F0.
