Structural snapshots of V/A-ATPase reveal the rotary catalytic mechanism of rotary ATPases
The rotary ATPases use a rotary catalytic mechanism to drive transmembrane proton movement powered by ATP hydrolysis. Here, the authors report a collection of V/A-ATPase V1 domain structures, providing insights into rotary mechanism of the enzyme and ...

In vivo analysis reveals that ATP-hydrolysis couples remodeling to SWI/SNF release from chromatin
ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers control the accessibility of genomic DNA through nucleosome mobilization. However, the dynamics of genome exploration by remodelers, and the role of ATP hydrolysis in this process remain unclear.

Subunit interactions influence the biochemical and biological properties of Hsp104 [PDF]
Point mutations in either of the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBD) of Hsp104 (NBD1 and NBD2) eliminate its thermotolerance function in vivo. In vitro, NBD1 mutations virtually eliminate ATP hydrolysis with little effect on hexamerization; analogous ...

Insights into the cooperative nature of ATP hydrolysis in actin filaments
Actin filaments continually assemble and disassemble within a cell. Assembled filaments “age” as a bound nucleotide ATP within each actin subunit quickly hydrolyzes, followed by a slower release of the phosphate Pi, leaving behind a bound ADP.

ATP hydrolysis by UPF1 is required for efficient translation termination at premature stop codons
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) represents a eukaryotic quality control pathway that recognizes and rapidly degrades transcripts harbouring nonsense mutations to limit accumulation of non-functional and potentially toxic truncated polypeptides.

Boosted coupling of ATP hydrolysis to substrate transport upon cooperative estradiol-17-beta-D-glucuronide binding in a Drosophila ATP binding cassette type-C transporter [PDF]
ATP binding cassette type-C (ABCC) transporters move molecules across cell membranes upon hydrolysis of ATP; however, their coupling of ATP hydrolysis to substrate transport remains elusive.

It is a conjecture that the ε subunit regulates ATP hydrolytic function of the F1Fo ATP synthase in bacteria. This has been proposed by the ε subunit taking an extended conformation, with a terminal helix probing into the central architecture of the ...

Molecular basis of nucleotide-dependent substrate engagement and remodeling by an AAA plus activator [PDF]
Binding and hydrolysis of ATP is universally re-quired by AAA+ proteins to underpin their mechano-chemical work. Here we explore the roles of the AT-Pase site in an AAA+ transcriptional activator pro-tein, the phage shock protein F (PspF), by specifi ...

The Role of ATP Hydrolysis for Kinesin Processivity [PDF]
Conventional kinesin is a highly processive, plus-end-directed microtubule-based motor that drives membranous organelles toward the synapse in neurons. Although recent structural, biochemical, and mechanical measurements are beginning to converge into a common view of how kinesin converts the energy from ATP turnover into motion, it remains difficult ...
