The majority of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is synthesized by
the ubiquitous F1F0 ATP synthase. Power for ATP synthesis derives from an electrochemical …

Alkaliphilic bacteria typically grow well at pH 9, with the most extremophilic strains growing
up to pH values as high as pH 12–13. Interest in extreme alkaliphiles arises because they …

Bedaquiline (BDQ), an inhibitor of the mycobacterial F1Fo-ATP synthase, has revolutionized
the antitubercular drug discovery program by defining energy metabolism as a potent new …

Several intracellular pathogens, including Salmonella enterica and Mycobacterium
tuberculosis, require the virulence protein MgtC to survive within macrophages and to cause …

During plant development and in response to fluctuating environmental conditions, large
changes in leaf assimilation capacity and in the metabolic consumption of ATP and NADPH …

Abstract F 1 F 0-ATP synthases are multimeric protein complexes and common prerequisites
for their correct assembly are (i) provision of subunits in appropriate relative amounts,(ii) …

ATP synthase membrane rotors consist of a ring of c-subunits whose stoichiometry is
constant for a given species but variable across different ones. We investigated the …

Chloroplast ATP synthases consist of a membrane-spanning coupling factor (CFO) and a
soluble coupling factor (CF1). It was previously demonstrated that CONSERVED ONLY IN …

FoF1-ATP synthase (FoF1) couples H+ flow in Fo domain and ATP synthesis/hydrolysis in
F1 domain through rotation of the central rotor shaft, and the H+/ATP ratio is crucial to …

Cell-free (CF) expression technologies have emerged as promising methods for the
production of individual membrane proteins of different types and origin. However, many …
