Solubilization of adenosine triphosphatase from membranes of Escherichia coli: effect of p-aminobenzamidine.

RESUMO
The five subunits of the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase (F1) from Escherichia coli were identified on electrophoretograms of membranes which had been washed with a low-ionic-strength buffer containing the protease inhibitor p-aminobenzamidine. All of the subunits of the membrane-bound F1 appeared to have the same molecular weights and isoelectric points as those of the soluble F1, as judged by two-dimensional electrophoresis. p-Aminobenzamidine inhibited the solubilization of F1 rebound to F1-depleted membranes, and was found to inhibit the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase activity to a much greater extent than the solubilized activity. It is therefore unlikely that p-aminobenzamidine inhibits the solubilization of F1 by inhibiting a protease, as suggested previously by Cox et al. (G.B. Cox, J.A. Downie, D.R.H. Fayle, F. Gibson, and J. Radik, J. Bacteriol. 133:287--292, 1978).
