The C-terminal residues 98-104 are important for structure stability of subunit H of A(1)A(O) ATP synthases as well as its interaction with subunit A. Here we determined the structure of the segment H(85-104) of H from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, showing a helix between residues Lys90 to Glu100 and flexible tails at both ends. The helix-helix arrangement in the C-terminus was investigated by exchange of hydrophobic residues to single cysteine in mutants of the entire subunit H (H(I93C), H(L96C) and H(L98C)). Together with the surface charge distribution of H(85-104), these results shine light into the A-H assembly of this enzyme.
C 端残基 98-104 对 A(1)A(O)ATP 合酶亚基 H 的结构稳定性及其与亚基 A 的相互作用非常重要。本文测定了来自产甲烷球菌的 H 亚基的 H(85-104)片段的结构,显示赖氨酸 90 到谷氨酸 100 之间存在一个螺旋,两端为柔性尾巴。通过将整个 H 亚基(H(I93C)、H(L96C)和 H(L98C))的疏水残基交换为单个半胱氨酸,研究了 C 端螺旋-螺旋排列。结合 H(85-104)的表面电荷分布,这些结果揭示了该酶的 A-H 组装。
