An intrinsic ATPase inhibitor and 9-kDa protein are regulatory factors of mitochondrial ATP synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A gene encoding the ATPase inhibitor was isolated from a yeast genomic library with synthetic oligonucleotides as hybridization probes and was sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that the precursor protein contains an amino-terminal presequence of 22 amino acid residues. Mutant strains that did not contain the inhibitor and/or the 9-kDa protein were constructed by transformation of cells with their in vitro disrupted genes. The disruption of the chromosomal copy in recombinant cells was verified by Southern blot analysis, and the absence of the proteins in the mutant cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis. All the mutants could grow on a nonfermentable carbon source and the oxidative phosphorylation activities of their isolated mitochondria were the same as that of normal mitochondria. However, an uncoupler, carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, induced marked ATP hydrolysis in the inhibitor-deficient mitochondria, but not in normal mitochondria. These observations suggest that the ATPase inhibitor inhibits ATP hydrolysis by F1F0-ATPase only when the membrane potential is lost.
