Topography of oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein in the mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase-ATP synthase.
The topographical organization of oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) in the mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase)-ATP synthase complex has been studied. The accessibility of OSCP to monoclonal antibodies has been qualitatively visualized by using the protein A-gold electron microscopy immunocytochemistry or quantitatively estimated by immunotitration of OSCP in depolymerized or intact membranes. Besides, OSCP cannot be labeled by 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine ([125I]TID) which selectively labels the hydrophobic core of membrane proteins. These observations demonstrate an external location of OSCP on the inner face of the inner mitochondrial membrane. The position of OSCP relative to other peptides of the complex has been analyzed by cross-linking experiments using either zero length N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxydihydroquinoline or 11-A span dimethyl suberimidate cross-linkers in the ATPase-ATP synthase complex. The OSCP cross-linked products were identified either by immunocharacterization with anti-alpha, anti-beta, or anti-OSCP monoclonal antibodies or by their molecular weight. OSCP was cross-linked with either the alpha- or beta-subunits of F1 or to a subunit of Mr 24 000. Other types of cross-linking were obtained by the labeling of OSCP with [cysteamine-35S]-N-succinimidyl 3-[[2-((2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)amino)ethyl]dithio]propionate ([35S]SNAP) and reconstitution of SNAP-OSCP with F1 in urea-treated submitochondrial particles. Under these conditions, OSCP is found to be adjacent to two other peptides of molecular weight close to 30 000. A comparison is made between the topology and the organization of the b-subunit of Escherichia coli and OSCP, suggesting an analogy between OSCP and the hydrophilic part of the b-subunit.
