Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix (CHCH) domains consist of two pairs of cysteine residues that are oxidized to form disulfide bonds upon mitochondrial import.

Reversible Thiol Oxidation Inhibits the Mitochondrial ATP Synthase in Xenopus Laevis Oocytes
Oocytes are postulated to repress the proton pumps (e.g., complex IV) and ATP synthase to safeguard mitochondrial DNA homoplasmy by curtailing superoxide production. Whether the ATP synthase is inhibited is, however, unknown.

Quick guide: ATP synthase [PDF]
Also known as… F1Fo ATP synthase, F1Fo ATPase, F-type ATPase. F1 denotes the soluble catalytic headgroup where ATP synthesis and hydrolysis occur, and Fo is the ion-translocating membrane domain (see Fig. 1Fig. 1).Fig. 1An illustration of the E. coli F1Fo. F1 is made up of five different subunits, with a stoichiometry α3β3γδe, and the composition of Fo

Structure of the dimeric ATP synthase from bovine mitochondria
Significance Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of life, is produced in inner membranes of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells by an embedded molecular machine with a rotary action, called ATP synthase. Single ATP synthases associate into dimers and

Assembling the mitochondrial ATP synthase [PDF]
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. The F1Fo-ATP synthase of the mitochondrial inner membrane produces the bulk of cellular ATP. The respiratory chain complexes pump protons across the inner membrane into the intermembrane space and thereby generate a proton-motive force that drives the ATP synthase.

Significance Mitochondria are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells. Pairs of molecular machines with a rotary action, called ATP synthase, are embedded in their inner membranes and produce adenosine triphosphate, ATP, the fuel of life.

A model is presented in which ion translocation through the F0 part of the ATP synthase drives the rotation of the ring of c subunits (rotor) versus the a subunit (stator). The coupling ion binding sites on the rotor are accessible from the cytoplasm of a bacterial cell except for the c subunit at the interface to the stator.

A new type of Na+-driven ATP synthase membrane rotor with a two-carboxylate ion-coupling motif [PDF]
: The anaerobic bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum uses glutamate decarboxylation to generate a transmembrane gradient of Na+. Here, we demonstrate that this ion-motive force is directly coupled to ATP synthesis, via an F1Fo-ATP synthase with a novel Na ...

Significance As the world tackles the COVID-19 pandemic, other widespread infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), take their toll on humans, and those with TB are more likely to die from COVID-19 infection.
