Abstract excerpt
This paper describes the role of α-subunit VISIT-DG sequence residue αThr-349 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli F1Fo ATP synthase. X-ray structures show the highly conserved αThr-349 in the proximity (2.68 Å) of the conserved phosphate binding residue βR182 in the phosphate binding subdomain. αT349A, -D, -Q, and -R mutations caused 90-100-fold losses of oxidative phosphorylation and reduced ATPase...
