| Research Abstract |
(1) Lily plant (Lilium longiflorum) was used as a major experimental plant instead of rice (Oryza sativa).
(2) F_1-ATPase was purified from mitochondria of lily and rice plants to a homogeneity. Both enzymes consisted of 5 kinds of subunits. Antibody against lily F_1-ATPase was prepared using rabbit. F_0F_1-ATPase was also purified from submitochondrial particles (SMP) of lily plants ; however, subunit constitution of the lily F_0F_1-ATPase remains to be solved.
(3) We found a tissue-specific activity of F_0F_1-ATPase on SMP when purified F_0F_1-ATPase. Pollen F_0F_1-ATPase showed the highest activity among the tissues tested and bulbs the lowest one.
(4) Different properties of F_0-portions in F_0F_1-ATPases isolated from different tissues may cause the tissue-specific activities, judged from the experiments of cross-reconstitution of F_0- and F_1-portions. In addition, lipid composition of the membrane where F_0-portion of F_0F_1-ATPase locates was also different among the different tissues tested.
(5) We isolated and purified an F_0F_1-ATPase inhibitor protein from SMP.The molecular size of the inhibitor was 16 kd. The inhibitor protein appeared to be present in bulbs in a larger amount than in pollens. The inhibitor we found in this study will be crucial to further investigate the molecular form of F_0F_1-ATPase.
(6) We have attempted to evaluate the role of mineral elements for mitochondrial F_0F_1-ATPase using cultured rice cells. Zinc- and manganese-deficiency caused a severe reduction of F_0F_1-ATPase activity on SMP.Mechanism of reduction of F_0F_1-ATPase activity by zinc and manganese starvation remains to be solved.
