Impaired proton conductivity resulting from mutations in the a subunit of F1F0 ATPase in Escherichia coli

BD Cain and RD Simoni

Mutations in the uncB gene which encodes the a subunit of F1F0-ATPase in Escherichia coli were isolated and characterized. Eight mutations caused premature polypeptide chain termination. Two mutations were single amino acid substitutions resulting in the replacements of serine 206 with leucine (ser-206----leu) and histidine 245 with tyrosine (his- 245----tyr). The ser-206----leu mutation does not alter F1 binding and allows ATP driven membrane energization at a low level. Stripping of F1 from membranes containing the ser-206----leu mutation does not render the membranes permeable to protons indicating impaired proton conductivity. The his-245----tyr mutation also blocks Fo-mediated proton conduction but has normal F1 binding properties. F1 bound to membranes with both ser-206----leu and his-245----tyr mutant a subunits is sensitive to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Apparently, both missense mutations impair proton conduction without altering assembly of the F1F0-ATPase complex. The direct involvement of the a subunit in proton translocation is discussed.
