The regulatory subunit ? in Escherichia coli FOF1-ATP synthase.

ABSTRACT: F-type ATP synthases are extraordinary multisubunit proteins that operate as nanomotors. The Escherichia coli (E. coli) enzyme uses the proton motive force (pmf) across the bacterial plasma membrane to drive rotation of the central rotor subunits within a stator subunit complex. Through this mechanical rotation, the rotor coordinates three nucleotide binding sites that sequentially catalyze the synthesis of ATP. Moreover, the enzyme can hydrolyze ATP to turn the rotor in the opposite direction and generate pmf. The direction of net catalysis, i.e. synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP, depends on the cell's bioenergetic conditions. Different control mechanisms have been found for ATP synthases in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria. This review discusses the auto-inhibitory behavior of subunit ? found in FOF1-ATP synthases of many bacteria. We focus on E. coli FOF1-ATP synthase, with insights into the regulatory mechanism of subunit ? arising from structural and biochemical studies complemented by single-molecule microscopy experiments.
