This paper demonstrates that the inhibition of F1 ATPase activity by the natural inhibitor protein IF1 is correlated to triphosphate nucleotide entrapment in F1. The complete balance of nucleotides bound after preincubation with Mg-[alpha-32P]GTP or Mg-[alpha-32P]ATP, used to promote IF1 inhibition, has been established on purified F1 containing 0.7 mol of non-exchangeable endogenous nucleotides. As many as 4 mol of labelled guanine- or adenine- nucleotides are trapped in F1; at least one of these nucleotides is a triphosphate. On the contrary, in the absence of IF1, no triphosphate nucleotide is significantly retained and the diphosphate nucleotides bound are mainly exchangeable.

Transposable element (TE) silencing in the germline is crucial for preserving genome integrity; its absence results in sterility and diminished developmental robustness. The Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is the primary small non-coding RNA mechanism by which TEs are silenced in the germline. Three piRNA binding proteins promote the piRNA pathway function in the germline- P-element-induced wimpy testis (Piwi), Aubergine (Aub), and Argonaute 3 (Ago3).

The initiation phase is the rate-limiting step of protein synthesis (translation) and is finely regulated, making it an important drug target. In bacteria, initiation is guided by three initiation factors and involves positioning the start site on the messenger RNA within the P-site on the small ribosomal subunit (30S), where it is decoded by the initiator tRNA. This process can be efficiently inhibited by GE81112, a natural hydrophilic, noncyclic, nonribosomal tetrapeptide.

T cells experience metabolic reprogramming to an enhanced glycolysis upon activation. Herein, we have investigated whether ATPase Inhibitory Factor 1 (IF1), the physiological inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthase, participates in rewiring T cells to a particular metabolic phenotype. We show that the activation of naive CD4 T lymphocytes both and is accompanied by a sharp upregulation of IF1, which is expressed only in Th1 effector cells.

The mitochondrial protein IF1 is upregulated in many tumors and acts as a pro-oncogenic protein through its interaction with the ATP synthase and the inhibition of apoptosis. We have recently characterized the molecular nature of the IF1-Oligomycin Sensitivity Conferring Protein (OSCP) subunit interaction; however, it remains to be determined whether this interaction could be targeted for novel anti-cancer therapeutic intervention. We generated mitochondria-targeting peptides to displace IF1 from the OSCP interaction.

The antipsychotic drug clozapine demonstrates superior efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but its intracellular mode of action is not completely understood. Here, we analysed the effects of clozapine (2.5-20 µM) on metabolic fluxes, cell respiration, and intracellular ATP in human HL60 cells.
