ATP synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an approximately 600 kDa membrane protein complex. The enzyme couples the proton motive force across the mitochondrial inner membrane to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The peripheral stalk subcomplex acts as a stator, preventing the rotation of the soluble F 1 region relative to the membrane-bound F O region during ATP synthesis. Component subunits of the peripheral stalk are Atp5p (OSCP), Atp4p (subunit b), Atp7p (subunit d), and Atp14p (subunit h). X-ray crystallography has defined the structure of a large fragment of the bovine peripheral stalk, including 75% of subunit d (residues 3-123). Docking the peripheral stalk structure into a cryo-EM map of intact yeast ATP synthase showed that residue 123 of subunit d lies close to the bottom edge of F 1. The 37 missing C-terminal residues are predicted to either fold back toward the apex of F 1 or extend toward the membrane. To locate the C terminus of subunit d within the peripheral stalk of ATP synthase from S. cerevisiae, a biotinylation signal was fused to the protein. The biotin acceptor domain became biotinylated in vivo and was subsequently labeled with avidin in vitro. Electron microscopy of the avidin-labeled complex showed the label tethered close to the membrane surface. We propose that the C-terminal region of subunit d spans the gap from F 1 to F O, reinforcing this section of the peripheral stalk.
来自酿酒酵母的ATP合酶是一种分子量约为600 kDa的膜蛋白复合物。该酶将跨线粒体内膜的质子动力与由ADP和无机磷酸合成ATP的过程偶联起来。外周柄亚复合物起到定子的作用,在ATP合成过程中防止可溶性F1区域相对于膜结合的F0区域旋转。外周柄的组成亚基是Atp5p(寡霉素敏感性赋予蛋白)、Atp4p(亚基b)、Atp7p(亚基d)和Atp14p(亚基h)。X射线晶体学确定了牛外周柄一个大片段的结构,包括75%的亚基d(第3至123位氨基酸残基)。将外周柄结构对接至完整酵母ATP合酶的冷冻电镜图谱中显示,亚基d的第123位氨基酸残基靠近F1的底部边缘。预计37个缺失的C末端氨基酸残基要么向F1的顶端折叠回去,要么向膜延伸。为了在酿酒酵母ATP合酶的外周柄中定位亚基d的C末端,将一个生物素化信号与该蛋白融合。生物素受体结构域在体内被生物素化,随后在体外被抗生物素蛋白标记。对抗生物素蛋白标记的复合物进行电子显微镜观察显示,标记物附着在靠近膜表面的位置。我们提出,亚基d的C末端区域跨越从F1到F0的间隙,加强了外周柄的这一部分。
