An alternative mechanism by which If1 prevents ATP hydrolysis by the ATP synthase subcomplex in S. cerevisiae

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is crucial for maintaining the ATP/ADP balance which is critical for cell metabolism, ion homeostasis and cell proliferation. This enzyme, conserved across evolution, is found in the mitochondria or chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane of bacteria. In vitro studies have shown that the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is reversible, capable of hydrolyzing instead of synthesizing ATP. In vivo, its reversibility is inhibited by the endogenous peptide If1 (Inhibitory Factor 1), which specifically prevents ATP hydrolysis in a pH-dependent manner. Despite its presumed importance, the loss of If1 in various model organisms does not cause severe phenotypes, suggesting its role may be confined to specific stress or metabolic conditions yet to be discovered. Our analyses indicate that inhibitory peptides are crucial in mitigating mitochondrial depolarizing stress under glyco-oxidative metabolic conditions. Additionally, we found that the absence of If1 destabilizes the nuclear-encoded free F1 subcomplex. This novel mechanism highlights the role of If1 in preventing harmful ATP wastage, offering new insights into its function under physiological and pathological conditions.

Deleting the IF1-like ζ subunit from Paracoccus denitrificans ATP synthase is not sufficient to activate ATP hydrolysis.

Project description:In oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthases interconvert two forms of free energy: they are driven by the proton-motive force across an energy-transducing membrane to synthesize ATP and displace the ADP/ATP ratio from equilibrium. For thermodynamically efficient energy conversion they must be reversible catalysts. However, in many species ATP synthases are unidirectional catalysts (their rates of ATP hydrolysis are negligible), and in others mechanisms have evolved to regulate or minimize hydrolysis. Unidirectional catalysis by Paracoccus denitrificans ATP synthase has been attributed to its unique ζ subunit, which is structurally analogous to the mammalian inhibitor protein IF1 Here, we used homologous recombination to delete the ζ subunit from the P. denitrificans genome, and compared ATP synthesis and hydrolysis by the wild-type and knockout enzymes in inverted membrane vesicles and the F1-ATPase subcomplex. ATP synthesis was not affected by loss of the ζ subunit, and the rate of ATP hydrolysis increased by less than twofold, remaining negligible in comparison with the rates of the Escherichia coli and mammalian enzymes. Therefore, deleting the P. denitrificans ζ subunit is not sufficient to activate ATP hydrolysis. We close by considering our conclusions in the light of reversible catalysis and regulation in ATP synthase enzymes.

Mechanism of ATP hydrolysis dependent rotation of bacterial ATP synthase.

Project description:F1 domain of ATP synthase is a rotary ATPase complex in which rotation of central γ-subunit proceeds in 120° steps against a surrounding α3β3 fueled by ATP hydrolysis. How the ATP hydrolysis reactions occurring in three catalytic αβ dimers are coupled to mechanical rotation is a key outstanding question. Here we describe catalytic intermediates of the F1 domain in FoF1 synthase from Bacillus PS3 sp. during ATP mediated rotation captured using cryo-EM. The structures reveal that three catalytic events and the first 80° rotation occur simultaneously in F1 domain when nucleotides are bound at all the three catalytic αβ dimers. The remaining 40° rotation of the complete 120° step is driven by completion of ATP hydrolysis at αDβD, and proceeds through three sub-steps (83°, 91°, 101°, and 120°) with three associated conformational intermediates. All sub-steps except for one between 91° and 101° associated with phosphate release, occur independently of the chemical cycle, suggesting that the 40° rotation is largely driven by release of intramolecular strain accumulated by the 80° rotation. Together with our previous results, these findings provide the molecular basis of ATP driven rotation of ATP synthases.

IF1 ablation prevents ATP synthase oligomerization, enhances mitochondrial ATP turnover and promotes an adenosine-mediated pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Project description:ATPase Inhibitory Factor 1 (IF1) regulates the activity of mitochondrial ATP synthase. The expression of IF1 in differentiated human and mouse cells is highly variable. In intestinal cells, the overexpression of IF1 protects against colon inflammation. Herein, we have developed a conditional IF1-knockout mouse model in intestinal epithelium to investigate the role of IF1 in mitochondrial function and tissue homeostasis. The results show that IF1-ablated mice have increased ATP synthase/hydrolase activities, leading to profound mitochondrial dysfunction and a pro-inflammatory phenotype that impairs the permeability of the intestinal barrier compromising mouse survival upon inflammation. Deletion of IF1 prevents the formation of oligomeric assemblies of ATP synthase and alters cristae structure and the electron transport chain. Moreover, lack of IF1 promotes an intramitochondrial Ca2+ overload in vivo, minimizing the threshold to Ca2+-induced permeability transition (mPT). Removal of IF1 in cell lines also prevents the formation of oligomeric assemblies of ATP synthase, minimizing the threshold to Ca2+-induced mPT. Metabolomic analyses of mice serum and colon tissue highlight that IF1 ablation promotes the activation of de novo purine and salvage pathways. Mechanistically, lack of IF1 in cell lines increases ATP synthase/hydrolase activities and installs futile ATP hydrolysis in mitochondria, resulting in the activation of purine metabolism and in the accumulation of adenosine, both in culture medium and in mice serum. Adenosine, through ADORA2B receptors, promotes an autoimmune phenotype in mice, stressing the role of the IF1/ATP synthase axis in tissue immune responses. Overall, the results highlight that IF1 is required for ATP synthase oligomerization and that it acts as a brake to prevent ATP hydrolysis under in vivo phosphorylating conditions in intestinal cells.

The inhibitor protein IF1 from mammalian mitochondria inhibits ATP hydrolysis but not ATP synthesis by the ATP synthase complex

Project description:The hydrolytic activity of the ATP synthase in bovine mitochondria is inhibited by a protein called IF1, but bovine IF1 has no effect on the synthetic activity of the bovine enzyme in mitochondrial vesicles in the presence of a proton motive force. As part of an investigation into the inhibitory effects on the hydrolytic and synthetic activities of ATP synthase in bovine sub-mitochondrial particles, the absolute quantities of both the ATP synthase complex and the IF1 protein have been measured.

The Mitochondrial ATP Synthase/IF1 Axis in Cancer Progression: Targets for Therapeutic Intervention.

Project description:Cancer poses a significant global health problem with profound personal and economic implications on National Health Care Systems. The reprograming of metabolism is a major trait of the cancer phenotype with a clear potential for developing effective therapeutic strategies to combat the disease. Herein, we summarize the relevant role that the mitochondrial ATP synthase and its physiological inhibitor, ATPase Inhibitory Factor 1 (IF1), play in metabolic reprogramming to an enhanced glycolytic phenotype. We stress that the interplay in the ATP synthase/IF1 axis has additional functional roles in signaling mitohormetic programs, pro-oncogenic or anti-metastatic phenotypes depending on the cell type. Moreover, the same axis also participates in cell death resistance of cancer cells by restrained mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. We emphasize the relevance of the different post-transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the specific expression and activity of ATP synthase/IF1, to stimulate further investigations in the field because of their potential as future targets to treat cancer. In addition, we review recent findings stressing that mitochondria metabolism is the primary altered target in lung adenocarcinomas and that the ATP synthase/IF1 axis of OXPHOS is included in the most significant signature of metastatic disease. Finally, we stress that targeting mitochondrial OXPHOS in pre-clinical mouse models affords a most effective therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment.

Regulation of the H<sup>+</sup>-ATP synthase by IF1: a role in mitohormesis.

Project description:The mitochondrial H+-ATP synthase is a primary hub of cellular homeostasis by providing the energy required to sustain cellular activity and regulating the production of signaling molecules that reprogram nuclear activity needed for adaption to changing cues. Herein, we summarize findings regarding the regulation of the activity of the H+-ATP synthase by its physiological inhibitor, the ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) and their functional role in cellular homeostasis. First, we outline the structure and the main molecular mechanisms that regulate the activity of the enzyme. Next, we describe the molecular biology of IF1 and summarize the regulation of IF1 expression and activity as an inhibitor of the H+-ATP synthase emphasizing the role of IF1 as a main driver of energy rewiring and cellular signaling in cancer. Findings in transgenic mice in vivo indicate that the overexpression of IF1 is sufficient to reprogram energy metabolism to an enhanced glycolysis and activate reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling pathways that promote cell survival. These findings are placed in the context of mitohormesis, a program in which a mild mitochondrial stress triggers adaptive cytoprotective mechanisms that improve lifespan. In this regard, we emphasize the role played by the H+-ATP synthase in modulating signaling pathways that activate the mitohormetic response, namely ATP, ROS and target of rapamycin (TOR). Overall, we aim to highlight the relevant role of the H+-ATP synthase and of IF1 in cellular physiology and the need of additional studies to decipher their contributions to aging and age-related diseases.

Modulation of low-dose ozone and LPS exposed acute mouse lung inflammation by IF1 mediated ATP hydrolysis inhibitor, BTB06584.

Project description:Ozone and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are common air pollutants that are related to high hospital admissions due to airway hyperreactivity and increased susceptibility to infections, especially in children, older population and individuals with underlying conditions. We modeled acute lung inflammation (ALI) by exposing 6-8 week old male mice to 0.005 ppm ozone for 2 h followed by 50 μg of intranasal LPS. We compared the immunomodulatory effects of single dose pre-treatment with CD61 blocking antibody (clone 2C9.G2), ATPase inhibitor BTB06584 against propranolol as the immune-stimulant and dexamethasone as the immune-suppressant in the ALI model. Ozone and LPS exposure induced lung neutrophil and eosinophil recruitment as measured by respective peroxidase (MPO and EPX) assays, systemic leukopenia, increased levels of lung vascular neutrophil regulatory chemokines such as CXCL5, SDF-1, CXCL13 and a decrease in immune-regulatory chemokines such as BAL IL-10 and CCL27. While CD61 blocking antibody and BTB06584 produced maximum increase in BAL leukocyte counts, protein content and BAL chemokines, these treatments induced moderate increase in lung MPO and EPX content. CD61 blocking antibody induced maximal BAL cell death, a markedly punctate distribution of NK1.1, CX3CR1, CD61. BTB06584 preserved BAL cell viability with cytosolic and membrane distribution of Gr1 and CX3CR1. Propranolol attenuated BAL protein, protected against BAL cell death, induced polarized distribution of NK1.1, CX3CR1 and CD61 but presented with high lung EPX. Dexamethasone induced sparse cell membrane distribution of CX3CR1 and CD61 on BAL cells and displayed very low lung MPO and EPX levels despite highest levels of BAL chemokines. Our study unravels ATPase inhibitor IF1 as a novel drug target for lung injury.

IF1 is a cold-regulated switch of ATP synthase hydrolytic activity to support thermogenesis in brown fat.

Project description:While mechanisms controlling uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) in thermogenic adipocytes play a pivotal role in non-shivering thermogenesis, it remains unclear whether F1Fo-ATP synthase function is also regulated in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Here, we show that inhibitory factor 1 (IF1, encoded by Atp5if1), an inhibitor of ATP synthase hydrolytic activity, is a critical negative regulator of brown adipocyte energy metabolism. In vivo, IF1 levels are diminished in BAT of cold-adapted mice compared to controls. Additionally, the capacity of ATP synthase to generate mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) through ATP hydrolysis (the so-called "reverse mode" of ATP synthase) is increased in brown fat. In cultured brown adipocytes, IF1 overexpression results in an inability of mitochondria to sustain the MMP upon adrenergic stimulation, leading to a quiescent-like phenotype in brown adipocytes. In mice, adeno-associated virus-mediated IF1 overexpression in BAT suppresses adrenergic-stimulated thermogenesis and decreases mitochondrial respiration in BAT. Taken together, our work identifies downregulation of IF1 upon cold as a critical event for the facilitation of the reverse mode of ATP synthase as well as to enable energetic adaptation of BAT to effectively support non-shivering thermogenesis.

IF1 promotes oligomeric assemblies of sluggish ATP synthase and outlines the heterogeneity of the mitochondrial membrane potential.

Project description:The coexistence of two pools of ATP synthase in mitochondria has been largely neglected despite in vitro indications for the existence of reversible active/inactive state transitions in the F1-domain of the enzyme. Herein, using cells and mitochondria from mouse tissues, we demonstrate the existence in vivo of two pools of ATP synthase: one active, the other IF1-bound inactive. IF1 is required for oligomerization and inactivation of ATP synthase and for proper cristae formation. Immunoelectron microscopy shows the co-distribution of IF1 and ATP synthase, placing the inactive "sluggish" ATP synthase preferentially at cristae tips. The intramitochondrial distribution of IF1 correlates with cristae microdomains of high membrane potential, partially explaining its heterogeneous distribution. These findings support that IF1 is the in vivo regulator of the active/inactive state transitions of the ATP synthase and suggest that local regulation of IF1-ATP synthase interactions is essential to activate the sluggish ATP synthase.
