Two ATPases

Abstract: In this article, I reflect on research on two ATPases. The first is F 1 F 0 -ATPase, also known as ATP synthase. It is the terminal enzyme in oxidative phosphorylation and famous as a nanomotor. Early work on mitochondrial enzyme involved purification in large amount, followed by deduction of subunit composition and stoichiometry and determination of molecular sizes of holoenzyme and individual subunits. Later work on Escherichia coli enzyme utilized mutagenesis and optical probes to reveal the molecular mecha… Show more

“…Despite the high ATP concentration in the crystallization solution (5 mM), ATPase 1 contains a sulfate ion in the active site (Figure 3A) whereas ATPase 2 and ATPase 3 are bound to ATP as they were in the signal sequence-bound structure (Figure 2). Several structural features of the ATPase 1 catalytic site are strongly reminiscent of the ATP “empty” (β E ) subunit of the F 1 -ATPase (Figure 3D and 3E) which is known to have a very low affinity for nucleotide (Menz et al, 2001; Senior, 2012). In particular, the Walker A lysine is rotated into an unfavorable rotamer and bound to the Walker B aspartate, displacing the binding of magnesium in the active site and likely preventing binding of ATP.…”

“…For example, the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) [34] exports an enormous range of structurally distinct xenobiotics, at the expense of very specific ATP hydrolysis. Arguably, the enzyme is substrate promiscuous with respect to export but not catalytically promiscuous with respect to ATP hydrolysis, even though many different transported substrates activate the hydrolysis.…”

“…The central role of ATP synthase as a biological nanomotor to generate or hydrolyze ATP, the universal energy currency is well established [13]. Lately, the presence of ATP synthase on the cell surface and its involvement in multiple cell functions has become known.…”
