Abstract excerpt
V(1)-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus is a molecular rotary motor with a subunit composition of A(3)B(3)DF, and its central rotor is composed of the D and F subunits. To determine the role of the F subunit, we generated an A(3)B(3)D subcomplex and compared it with A(3)B(3)DF. The ATP hydrolyzing activity of A(3)B(3)D (V(max) = 20 s(-1)) was lower than that of A(3)B(3)DF (V(max) = 31...
