(ADP.AlF4)2(ADP.SO4) bovine F1-ATPase (all three catalytic sites occupied)
Structural highlights
FunctionATPA_BOVIN Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. 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. Subunits alpha and beta form the catalytic core in F(1). Rotation of the central stalk against the surrounding alpha(3)beta(3) subunits leads to hydrolysis of ATP in three separate catalytic sites on the beta subunits. Subunit alpha does not bear the catalytic high-affinity ATP-binding sites (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure of a novel aluminium fluoride inhibited form of bovine mitochondrial F(1)-ATPase has been determined at 2 A resolution. In contrast to all previously determined structures of the bovine enzyme, all three catalytic sites are occupied by nucleotide. The subunit that did not bind nucleotide in previous structures binds ADP and sulfate (mimicking phosphate), and adopts a "half-closed" conformation. This structure probably represents the posthydrolysis, pre-product release step on the catalytic pathway. A catalytic scheme for hydrolysis (and synthesis) at physiological rates and a mechanism for the ATP-driven rotation of the gamma subunit are proposed based on the crystal structures of the bovine enzyme.
