Structural highlights
Function[F4TL55_ECOLX] F(1)F(0) ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton or sodium gradient. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) containing the extramembraneous catalytic core and F(0) containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01396] Key component of the F(0) channel; it plays a direct role in translocation across the membrane. A homomeric c-ring of between 10-14 subunits forms the central stalk rotor element with the F(1) delta and epsilon subunits.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01396] [C3SL77_ECOLX] Key component of the proton channel; it plays a direct role in the translocation of protons across the membrane.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01393][RuleBase:RU000483] [D6IFY0_ECOLX] Component of the F(0) channel, it forms part of the peripheral stalk, linking F(1) to F(0).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01398][SAAS:SAAS00535352] F(1)F(0) ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton or sodium gradient.

It comprises two molecular motors coupled together by a central and a peripheral stalk. Proton flow through the Fo motor generates rotation of the central stalk, inducing conformational changes in the F1 motor that catalyzes ATP production. Here we present nine cryo-EM structures of E. coli ATP synthase to 3.1-3.4 A resolution, in four discrete rotational sub-states, which provide a comprehensive structural model for this widely studied bacterial molecular machine. We observe torsional flexing of the entire complex and a rotational sub-step of Fo associated with long-range conformational changes that indicates how this flexibility accommodates the mismatch between the 3- and 10-fold symmetries of the F1 and Fo motors. We also identify density likely corresponding to lipid molecules that may contribute to the rotor/stator interaction within the Fo motor. Cryo-EM structures provide insight into how E. coli F1Fo ATP synthase accommodates symmetry mismatch.,Sobti M, Walshe JL, Wu D, Ishmukhametov R, Zeng YC, Robinson CV, Berry RM, Stewart AG Nat Commun. 2020 May 26;11(1):2615. doi: 10.1038/s41467-020-16387-2.
