The membrane-bound H(+)-ATPase complex is essential for growth of Lactococcus lactis.

The eight genes which encode the (F(1)F(o)) H(+)-ATPase in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363 were cloned and sequenced. The genes were organized in an operon with the gene order atpEBFHAGDC; i.e., the order of atpE and atpB is reversed with respect to the more typical bacterial organization. The deduced amino acid sequences of the corresponding H(+)-ATPase subunits showed significant homology with the subunits from other organisms. Results of Northern blot analysis showed a transcript at approximately 7 kb, which corresponds to the size of the atp operon. The transcription initiation site was mapped by primer extension and coincided with a standard promoter sequence. In order to analyze the importance of the H(+)-ATPase for L. lactis physiology, a mutant strain was constructed in which the original atp promoter on the chromosome was replaced with an inducible nisin promoter. When grown on GM17 plates the resulting strain was completely dependent on the presence of nisin for growth. These data demonstrate that the H(+)-ATPase is essential for growth of L. lactis under these conditions.

Mutation of the mitochrondrially encoded ATPase 6 gene modeled in the ATP synthase of Escherichia coli.

Defects of respiratory chain protein complexes and the ATP synthase are becoming increasingly implicated in human disease. Recently, mutations in the ATPase 6 gene have been shown to cause several different neurological disorders. The product of this gene is homologous to the a subunit of the ATP synthase of Escherichia coli. Here, mutations equivalent to those described in humans have been introduced into the a subunit of E. coli by site-directed mutagenesis, and the effects of these mutations on the ATPase activity, ATP synthesis and ability of the enzyme to pump protons studied in detail. The effects of the mutations varied considerably. The mutation L262P (9185 T-C equivalent) caused a 70% loss of ATP synthesis activity, reduced DCCD sensitivity, and lowered proton pumping activity. The L207P (8993 T-C equivalent) reduced ATP synthesis by 50%, affected DCCD sensitivity, while proton pumping was only marginally affected when measured by the standard AMCA quenching assay. The other mutations studied affected the functioning of the ATP synthase much less. The results confirm that modeling of these point mutations in the E. coli enzyme is a useful approach to determining how alterations in the ATPase 6 gene affect enzyme function and, therefore, how a pathogenic effect can be exerted.
