Abstract

Interactions between oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) and subunits of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been explored by cross-linking at an OSCP/F1 molar ratio close to 1 to ensure specific high-affinity binding of OSCP to F1 [see Dupuis et al. [Dupuis, A., Issartel, J.-P., Lunardi, J., Satre, M., & Vignais, P.V. (1985) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]]. Cross-links between F1 subunits and OSCP were established by means of two zero length cross-linkers, 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide and N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxydihydroquinoline. The cross-linked products were separated by sodium dodecyl suflate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Coomassie blue staining revealed two cross-linked products of Mr 75 000 and 80 000 which could result from the binding of OSCP to the alpha and beta subunits of F1. Definite identification of the cross-linked products was achieved by chemical labeling with specific radiolabeled reagents and by blotting on nitrocellulose filters followed by immunocharacterization with anti-alpha, anti-beta, and anti-OSCP antibodies. OSCP was found to cross-link with the alpha and beta subunits of F1.
