Rotary catalysis of FoF1-ATP synthase
The synthesis of ATP, the key reaction of biological energy metabolism, is accomplished by the rotary motor protein; FoF1-ATP synthase (FoF1). In vivo, FoF1, located on the cell membrane, carries out ATP synthesis by using the proton motive force. This heterologous energy conversion is supposed to be mediated by the mechanical rotation of FoF1; however, it still remained unclear. Recently, we d...
متن کاملEscherichia coli ATP synthase (F-ATPase): catalytic site and regulation of H+ translocation.
We discuss our recent results on the Escherichia coli F-ATPase, in particular its catalytic site in the beta subunit and regulation of H+ transport by the gamma subunit. Affinity labelling experiments suggest that beta Lys-155 in the glycine-rich sequence is near the gamma-phosphate moiety of ATP bound at the catalytic site. The enzyme loses activity upon introduction of missense mutations in b...
متن کاملSpotlighting motors and controls of single FoF1-ATP synthase.
Subunit rotation is the mechanochemical intermediate for the catalytic activity of the membrane enzyme FoF1-ATP synthase. smFRET (single-molecule FRET) studies have provided insights into the step sizes of the F1 and Fo motors, internal transient elastic energy storage and controls of the motors. To develop and interpret smFRET experiments, atomic structural information is required. The recent ...
متن کاملInhibitors of the catalytic domain of mitochondrial ATP synthase.
An understanding of the mechanism of ATP synthase requires an explanation of how inhibitors act. The catalytic F1-ATPase domain of the enzyme has been studied extensively by X-ray crystallography in a variety of inhibited states. Four independent inhibitory sites have been identified by high-resolution structural studies. They are the catalytic site, and the binding sites for the antibiotics au...
متن کاملProperties of ATP tightly bound to catalytic sites of chloroplast ATP synthase.
Under steady state photophosphorylating conditions, each ATP synthase complex from spinach thylakoids contains, at a catalytic site, about one tightly bound ATP molecule that is rapidly labeled from medium 32Pi. The level of this bound [32P]ATP is markedly reduced upon de-energization of the spinach thylakoids. The reduction is biphasic, a rapid phase in which the [32P] ATP/synthase complex dro...
