Functional and structural characterization of F1‐ATPase with common ancestral core domains in stator ring [PDF]
Abstract Extant F1‐ATPases exhibit diverse rotational stepping behaviors—3‐, 6‐, or 9‐step cycles—yet the evolutionary origin of these patterns remains unclear. Here, we used ancestral sequence reconstruction to infer the catalytic β and non‐catalytic α subunits of a putative ancestral F1‐ATPase.

Localization of a Proton-Translocating ATPase on Sucrose Gradients [PDF]
Ionophore-stimulated ATPase activity and ATP-dependent quinacrine quench were enriched in parallel when microsomal vesicles were prepared from corn (Crow Single Cross Hybrid WF9-Mo17) roots and collected on a cushion of 10% dextran. Activities were highest in the apical 1.5 centimeters of the roots.

Electrogenic Proton Translocation by the ATPase of Sugarcane Vacuoles [PDF]
Existence of a proton-translocating ATPase on the tonoplast of higher plants has been further confirmed by use of two experimental systems: (a) intact isolated vacuoles from sugarcane cells and (b) vesicles prepared from the same source. Addition of MgATP to vacuoles polarized the tonoplast by 40 millivolts to a value of +20 millivolts, but a large ...

Proton translocation driven by ATP hydrolysis in V‐ATPases [PDF]
The vacuolar H+‐ATPases (or V‐ATPases) are a family of ATP‐dependent proton pumps responsible for acidification of intracellular compartments and, in certain cases, proton transport across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. They are multisubunit complexes composed of a peripheral domain (V1) responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral domain ...

Evolutionary primacy of sodium bioenergetics
Background The F- and V-type ATPases are rotary molecular machines that couple translocation of protons or sodium ions across the membrane to the synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP.

Fluoride inhibition of proton-translocating ATPases of oral bacteria [PDF]
The ATPases of isolated membranes of lactic acid bacteria were found to be inhibited by fluoride in a complex manner. Among the enzymes tested, that of Streptococcus mutans GS-5 was the most sensitive to fluoride, and the initial rate of hydrolysis of ATP was reduced 50% by approximately 3 mM fluoride.

Vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) is a multi-subunit complex comprising two domains: the cytosolic V1 domain catalyzing ATP hydrolysis and the membranous V0 sector translocating protons across membranes.

Cryo-EM structures of the autoinhibited E. coli ATP synthase in three rotational states
A molecular model that provides a framework for interpreting the wealth of functional information obtained on the E. coli F-ATP synthase has been generated using cryo-electron microscopy.

Proton translocation induced by ATPase activity in chloroplasts [PDF]
Proton uptake by chloroplasts was induced by light‐triggered ATPase activity. A quotient of two was obtained when the initial rate of proton uptake was divided by the rate of Pi released from ATP. Gramicidin accelerated the rate of ATPase activity and reduced the H+/Pi ratio to 1.4. The results were found to be consistent with the chemiosmotic theory.
