Abstract excerpt
The a subunit is a membrane component of the F1F0-ATP synthase from Escherichia coli. Regions of a which appear important for membrane insertion or F0 assembly have been identified by analysis of both deletion mutants and fusion proteins which link the mutant a subunits to alkaline phosphatase. This analysis suggests the hydrophilic, amino-terminal domain of a is required for proper membrane targeting and/or...
