Abstract excerpt
Subunit a is thought to play a key role in H+ transport-driven rotation of the subunit c ring in Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase. In the membrane-traversing F0 sector of the enzyme, H+ binding and release occurs at Asp-61 in the middle of the second transmembrane helix (TMH) of subunit c. Protons are thought to reach Asp-61 via aqueous channels formed at least in part by one or more of the five TMHs of subunit...
