ATP synthase from bovine mitochondria: sequences of imported precursors of oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein, factor 6, and adenosinetriphosphatase inhibitor protein.
Oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein (OSCP), factor 6 (F6), and ATPase inhibitor protein are all components of the ATP synthase complex of bovine mitochondria. They are encoded in nuclear DNA. Complementary DNA clones encoding the precursors of these proteins have been isolated from a bovine library by using mixtures of synthetic oligonucleotides as hybridization probes, and their DNA sequences have been determined. The deduced protein sequences show that the OSCP, F6, and inhibitor proteins have N-terminal presequences of 23, 32, and 25 amino acids, respectively. These presequences are not present in the mature proteins. It is assumed that they serve to direct the proteins into the mitochondrial matrix. The cDNA clones have also been employed as hybridization probes to investigate the genetic complexity of the three proteins in cows and humans. These experiments indicate that the bovine and human inhibitor and bovine F6 proteins are encoded by single genes but suggest the possibility of the presence in both species of more than one gene (or pseudogenes) for the OSCP.
