Thus, our present knowledge of ATP synthase is derived from sturlies of the enzyme from different organisms, each affering specific experimental possibilities. In recent tim es, research on the H\(^+\) -conducting F0 part of the ATP synthase has been greatly stimulated by two developments in the Escherichio coli system. Firstly, the purification and reconstitution of the whole ATP synthase as weil as the proton conductor Fa from E. coli have been achieved. These functionally active preparations are well defined in terms of subunit composition, similar to the thermophilic enzyme from PS-3 studied by Kagawa's group.u Secondly, the genetics and the molecular cloning of the genes of all the F\(_0\) subunits from E. coli yielded information on the function of subunit polypeptides and essential amino acid residues. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of hydrophobic F\(_0\) subunits, which are difficult to analyze by protein-chemical techniques, could be derived from the nucleotide sequence of the genes. These achievements, which shall be briefly summarized in the next part of this communication, provide the framework to study specific aspects of the structure and function of the F\(_0\) subunits.}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} } @article{ViebrockPerzSebald1982, author = {Viebrock, A. and Perz, A. and Sebald, Walter}, title = {The imported preprotein of the proteolipid subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase from Neurospora crassa.

All six inhibitor-resistant mutants were found to be altered at the same position of the proteolipid, namely at the isoleucine at residue 28. Two substitutions could be identified. In type I this residue was substituted by a valine resulting in a moderate decrease in sensitivity to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Type II contained a threonine residue at this position. Here a strong resistance was observed. These two amino acid substitutions did not influence functional properties of the ATPase complex. ATPase as well as A TP-dependent proton-translocating activities of mutant membranes were indistinguishable from the wild type. At elevated concentrations, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide still bound specifically to the aspartic acid at residue 61 of the mutant proteolipid as in the wild type, and thereby inhibited the activity of the ATPase complex. It is suggested that the residue 28 substituted in the resistant mutants interacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide during the reactions leading to the covalent attachment of the inhibitor to the aspartic acid at residue 61. This could indicate that these two residues are in close vicinity and would thus provide a first hint on the functional conformation of the proteolipid. Its polypeptide chain would have to fold back to bring together these two residues separated by a segment of 32 residues.}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} } @article{vonJagowSebald1980, author = {von Jagow, Gerhard and Sebald, Walter}, title = {b-Type cytochromes}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-47383}, year = {1980}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} } @article{SebaldWachterTzagoloff1979, author = {Sebald, Walter and Wachter, E. and Tzagoloff, A.}, title = {Identification of amino acid substitutions in the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase complex from oligomycin-resistant mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62770}, year = {1979}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} } @article{MichelWachterSebald1979, author = {Michel, R. and Wachter, E. and Sebald, Walter}, title = {Synthesis of a larger precursor for the proteolipid subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase complex of Neurospora crassa in a cell-free wheat germ system}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62789}, year = {1979}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Biochemie}, language = {en} }
