Monoclonal antibodies to mitochondrial F1-ATPase and oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP). Tools for recognition of well conserved and essential antigenic sites.
The preparation of anti-OSCP monoclonal antibodies is described for the first time. One of these antibodies prevents the activating effect of OSCP in reconstitution experiments. These antibodies and antibodies previously obtained against the alpha- and beta-subunits of pig heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been used to look for well conserved epitopes in various species. One anti-beta antibody can recognize all species tested while the anti-OSCP antibodies only recognize the pig or beef enzyme. The above anti-beta antibody inhibits ATP synthesis without modifying the rate of ATP hydrolysis. This antibody also prevents the ADP-induced hysteretic inhibition of F1-ATPase.
