Identification of phosphate binding residues of Escherichia coli ATP synthase.
Four positively-charged residues, namely betaLys-155, betaArg-182, betaArg-246, and alphaArg-376 have been identified as Pi binding residues in Escherichia coli ATP synthase. They form a triangular Pi binding site in catalytic site betaE where substrate Pi initially binds for ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation. Positive electrostatic charge in the vicinity of betaArg-246 is shown to be ...
متن کاملThe Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase displays biphasic synthesis kinetics.
The F1F0 proton-translocating ATPase/synthase is the primary generator of ATP in most organisms growing aerobically. Kinetic assays of ATP synthesis have been conducted using enzymes from mitochondria and chloroplasts. However, limited data on ATP synthesis by the model Escherichia coli enzyme are available, mostly because of the lack of an efficient and reproducible assay. We have developed an...
متن کاملThymoquinone Inhibits Escherichia coli ATP Synthase and Cell Growth
We examined the thymoquinone induced inhibition of purified F1 or membrane bound F1FO E. coli ATP synthase. Both purified F1 and membrane bound F1FO were completely inhibited by thymoquinone with no residual ATPase activity. The process of inhibition was fully reversible and identical in both membrane bound F1Fo and purified F1 preparations. Moreover, thymoquinone induced inhibition of ATP synt...
متن کاملCathelicidins Inhibit Escherichia coli-Induced TLR2 and TLR4 Activation in a Viability-Dependent Manner.
Activation of the immune system needs to be tightly regulated to provide protection against infections and, at the same time, to prevent excessive inflammation to limit collateral damage to the host. This tight regulation includes regulating the activation of TLRs, which are key players in the recognition of invading microbes. A group of short cationic antimicrobial peptides, called cathelicidi...
متن کاملTime-delayed in vivo assembly of subunit a into preformed Escherichia coli FoF1 ATP synthase.
Escherichia coli F(O)F(1) ATP synthase, a rotary nanomachine, is composed of eight different subunits in a α3β3γδεab2c10 stoichiometry. Whereas F(O)F(1) has been studied in detail with regard to its structure and function, much less is known about how this multisubunit enzyme complex is assembled. Single-subunit atp deletion mutants are known to be arrested in assembly, thus leading to formatio...
