Function
ATPD_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.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01416] This protein is part of the stalk that links CF(0) to CF(1). It either transmits conformational changes from CF(0) to CF(1) or is implicated in proton conduction.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01416]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
NMR studies of the delta subunit of the Escherichia coli F1F0-ATPsynthase reveal that it consists of an N-terminal six alpha-helix bundle and a less well ordered C terminus. Both domains are part of one of two separate connections between F1 and F0.
