EEDQ probably reacts with the Mg2+-ATP catalytic sites of mitochondrial and bacterial F1-ATPases.
The carboxyl reagent N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) inactivated ATPase activities of isolated MF1 and BF1 when assayed in an MgCl2 medium, but not in an EDTA medium. However, another carboxyl reagent, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) was found to inhibit MF1 and BF1 when assayed either in the presence of MgCl2 or EDTA. These data suggest that EEDQ interferes with the binding of Mg2+ at catalytic sites of both MF1 and BF1 and that EEDQ on one hand, and DCCD on the other, react with different carboxyl groups on MF1 and BF1.
