Large-scale column-free purification of bovine F-ATP synthase.

ABSTRACT: Mammalian F-ATP synthase is central to mitochondrial bioenergetics and is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane in a dynamic oligomeric state of higher oligomers, tetramers, dimers, and monomers. In vitro investigations of mammalian F-ATP synthase are often limited by the ability to purify the oligomeric forms present in vivo at a quantity, stability, and purity that meets the demand of the planned experiment. We developed a purification approach for the isolation of bovine F-ATP synthase from heart muscle mitochondria that uses a combination of buffer conditions favoring inhibitor factor 1 binding and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation to yield stable complexes at high purity in the milligram range. By tuning the glyco-diosgenin to lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol ratio in
