Schemes are proposed for coupling sequential opening and closing the three catalytic sites of F(1) to rotation of the gamma subunit during ATP synthesis and hydrolysis catalyzed by the F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase. A prominent feature of the proposed mechanisms is that the transition state during ATP synthesis is formed when a catalytic site is in the process of closing and that the transition state during ATP hydrolysis is formed when a catalytic site is in the process of opening. The unusual kinetics of formation of Mg-ADP-fluoroaluminate complexes in one or two catalytic sites of nucleotide-depleted MF(1) and wild-type and mutant alpha(3)beta(3)gamma subcomplexes of TF(1) are also reviewed. From these considerations, it is concluded that Mg-ADP-fluoroaluminate complexes formed at catalytic sites of isolated F(1)-ATPases or F(1) in membrane-bound F(o)F(1) are ground-state analogs. |
