NMR solution structure of the b30-82 domain of subunit b of Escherichia coli F1FO ATP synthase
Structural highlights
FunctionATPF_ECOLI 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 (By similarity).[1] Component of the F(0) channel, it forms part of the peripheral stalk, linking F(1) to F(0) (By similarity).[2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedSubunit b, the peripheral stalk of bacterial F(1)F(o) ATP synthases, is composed of a membrane-spanning and a soluble part. The soluble part is divided into tether, dimerization, and delta-binding domains. The first solution structure of b30-82, including the tether region and part of the dimerization domain, has been solved by nuclear magnetic resonance, revealing an alpha-helix between residues 39 and 72. In the solution structure, b30-82 has a length of 48.07 A. The surface charge distribution of b30-82 shows one side with a hydrophobic surface pattern, formed by alanine residues. Alanine residues 61, 68, 70, and 72 were replaced by single cysteines in the soluble part of subunit b, b22-156. The cysteines at positions 61, 68, and 72 showed disulfide formation. In contrast, no cross-link could be formed for the A70C mutant. The patterns of disulfide bonding, together with the circular dichroism spectroscopy data, are indicative of an adjacent arrangement of residues 61, 68, and 72 in both alpha-helices in b22-156.
