Abstract
The loss of function of AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) mechanoenzymes has been linked to diseases, and small molecules that activate these proteins can be powerful tools to probe mechanisms and test therapeutic hypotheses. Unlike chemical inhibitors that can bind a single conformational state to block enzyme function, activator binding must be permissive to different conformational states needed for mechanochemistry. However, we do not know how AAA proteins can be activated by small molecules. Here, we focus on valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97, an AAA unfoldase whose loss of function has been linked to protein aggregation-based disorders, to identify druggable sites for chemical activators. We identified VCP ATPase Activator 1 (VAA1), a compound that dose-dependently stimulates VCP ATPase activity up to ~threefold. Our cryo-EM studies resulted in structures (ranging from ~2.9 to 3.7 Å-resolution) of VCP in apo and ADP-bound states and revealed that VAA1 binds an allosteric pocket near the C-terminus in both states. Engineered mutations in the VAA1-binding site confer resistance to VAA1, and furthermore, modulate VCP activity. Mutation of a phenylalanine residue in the VCP C-terminal tail that can occupy the VAA1 binding site also stimulates ATPase activity, suggesting that VAA1 acts by mimicking this interaction. Together, our findings uncover a druggable allosteric site and a mechanism of enzyme regulation that can be tuned through small molecule mimicry.

Abstract
The loss of function of AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) mechanoenzymes has been linked to diseases, and small molecules that activate these proteins can be powerful tools to probe mechanisms and test therapeutic hypotheses. Unlike chemical inhibitors that can bind a single conformational state to block enzyme activity, activator binding must be permissive to different conformational states needed for enzyme function. However, we do not know how AAA proteins can be activated by small molecules. Here, we focus on valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97, a AAA unfoldase whose loss of function has been linked to protein aggregation-based disorders, to identify druggable sites for chemical activators. We identified VCP Activator 1 (VA1), a compound that dose-dependently stimulates VCP ATPase activity up to ∼3-fold. Our cryo-EM studies resulted in structures (∼2.9-3.5 Å-resolution) of VCP in apo and ADP-bound states, and revealed VA1 binding an allosteric pocket near the C-terminus in both states. Engineered mutations in the VA1 binding site confer resistance to VA1, and furthermore, modulate VCP activity to a similar level as VA1-mediated activation. The VA1 binding site can alternatively be occupied by a phenylalanine residue in the VCP C-terminal tail, a motif that is post-translationally modified and interacts with cofactors. Together, our findings uncover a druggable allosteric site and a mechanism of enzyme regulation that can be tuned through small molecule mimicry. Significance The loss of function of valosin-containing protein (VCP/p97), a mechanoenzyme from the AAA superfamily that hydrolyzes ATP and uses the released energy to extract or unfold substrate proteins, is linked to protein aggregation-based disorders. However, druggable allosteric sites to activate VCP, or any AAA mechanoenzyme, have not been identified. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of VCP in two states in complex with VA1, a compound we identified that dose-dependently stimulates VCP's ATP hydrolysis activity. The VA1 binding site can also be occupied by a phenylalanine residue in the VCP C-terminal tail, suggesting that VA1 acts through mimicry of this interaction. Our study reveals a druggable allosteric site and a mechanism of enzyme regulation.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type ATPase from Enterococcus hirae (EhV-ATPase) is a thus-far unique adaptation of V-ATPases, as it performs Na+ transport and demonstrates an off-axis rotor assembly. Recent single molecule studies of the isolated V1 domain have indicated that there are subpauses within the three major states of the pseudo three-fold symmetric rotary enzyme. However, there was no structural evidence for these. Herein we activate the EhV-ATPase complex with ATP and identified multiple structures consisting of a total of six states of this complex by using cryo-electron microscopy. The orientations of the rotor complex during turnover, especially in the intermediates, are not as perfectly uniform as expected. The densities in the nucleotide binding pockets in the V1 domain indicate the different catalytic conditions for the six conformations. The off-axis rotor and its' interactions with the stator a-subunit during rotation suggests that this non-uniform rotor rotation is performed through the entire complex.

Abstract
Several lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are double-edged swords in the production of Sichuan bran vinegar; on the one hand, they are important for the flavour of the vinegar, but on the other hand, they result in vinegar deterioration because of their gas-producing features and their acid resistance. These characteristics intensify the difficulty in managing the safe production of vinegar using strains such as Acetilactobacillus jinshanensis subsp. aerogenes Z-1. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize the mechanisms underlying their acid tolerance. The results of this study showed a survival rate of 77.2% for Z-1 when exposed to pH 3.0 stress for 1 h. This strain could survive for approximately 15 days in a vinegar solution with 4% or 6% total acid content, and its growth was effectively enhanced by the addition of 10 mM of arginine (Arg). Under acidic stress, the relative content of the unsaturated fatty acid C18:1 (n-11) increased, and eight amino acids accumulated in the cells. Meanwhile, based on a transcriptome analysis, the genes glnA, carA/B, arcA, murE/F/G, fabD/H/G, DnaK, uvrA, opuA/C, fliy, ecfA2, dnaA and LuxS, mainly enriched in amino acid transport and metabolism, protein folding, DNA repair, and cell wall/membrane metabolism processes, were hypothesized to be acid resistance-related genes in Z-1. This work paves the way for further clarifying the acid tolerance mechanism of Z-1 and shares applicable perspectives for vinegar brewing.

Cryo-EM analysis of V/A-ATPase intermediates reveals the transition of the ground-state structure to steady-state structures by sequential ATP binding. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:102884.

Abstract
Vacuolar/archaeal-type ATPase (V/A-ATPase) is a rotary ATPase that shares a common rotary catalytic mechanism with FoF1 ATP synthase. Structural images of V/A-ATPase obtained by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy during ATP hydrolysis identified several intermediates, revealing the rotary mechanism under steady-state conditions. However, further characterization is needed to understand the transition from the ground state to the steady state. Here, we identified the cryo-electron microscopy structures of V/A-ATPase corresponding to short-lived initial intermediates during the activation of the ground state structure by time-resolving snapshot analysis. These intermediate structures provide insights into how the ground-state structure changes to the active, steady state through the sequential binding of ATP to its three catalytic sites. All the intermediate structures of V/A-ATPase adopt the same asymmetric structure, whereas the three catalytic dimers adopt different conformations. This is significantly different from the initial activation process of FoF1, where the overall structure of the F1 domain changes during the transition from a pseudo-symmetric to a canonical asymmetric structure (PNAS NEXUS, pgac116, 2022). In conclusion, our findings provide dynamical information that will enhance the future prospects for studying the initial activation processes of the enzymes, which have unknown intermediate structures in their functional pathway.

Abstract
V/A-ATPase is a rotary molecular motor protein that produces ATP through the rotation of its central rotor. The soluble part of this protein, the V1 domain, rotates upon ATP hydrolysis. However, the mechanism by which ATP hydrolysis in the V1 domain couples with the mechanical rotation of the rotor is still unclear. Cryo-EM snapshot analysis of V/A-ATPase indicated that three independent and simultaneous catalytic events occurred at the three catalytic dimers (ABopen, ABsemi, and ABclosed), leading to a 120° rotation of the central rotor. Besides the closing motion caused by ATP bound to ABopen, the hydrolysis of ATP bound to ABsemi drives the 120° step. Our recent time-resolved cryo-EM snapshot analysis provides further evidence for this model. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of V/A-ATPase from a thermophilic bacterium, one of the most well-studied rotary ATPases to date.

Abstract
Membrane proteins play important roles in biological functions, with accompanying allosteric structure changes. Understanding intramolecular dynamics helps elucidate catalytic mechanisms and develop new drugs. In contrast to the various technologies for structural analysis, methods for analyzing intramolecular dynamics are limited. Single-molecule measurements using optical microscopy have been widely used for kinetic analysis. Recently, improvements in detectors and image analysis technology have made it possible to use single-molecule determination methods using X-rays and electron beams, such as diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT), X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) imaging, and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a scanning probe microscope that can capture the structural dynamics of biomolecules in real time at the single-molecule level. Time-resolved techniques also facilitate an understanding of real-time intramolecular processes during chemical reactions. In this review, recent advances in membrane protein dynamics visualization techniques were presented.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatases (V-ATPases)1-3 are electrogenic rotary mechanoenzymes structurally related to F-type ATP synthases4,5. They hydrolyse ATP to establish electrochemical proton gradients for a plethora of cellular processes1,3. In neurons, the loading of all neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles is energized by about one V-ATPase molecule per synaptic vesicle6,7. To shed light on this bona fide single-molecule biological process, we investigated electrogenic proton-pumping by single mammalian-brain V-ATPases in single synaptic vesicles. Here we show that V-ATPases do not pump continuously in time, as suggested by observing the rotation of bacterial homologues8 and assuming strict ATP-proton coupling. Instead, they stochastically switch between three ultralong-lived modes: proton-pumping, inactive and proton-leaky. Notably, direct observation of pumping revealed that physiologically relevant concentrations of ATP do not regulate the intrinsic pumping rate. ATP regulates V-ATPase activity through the switching probability of the proton-pumping mode. By contrast, electrochemical proton gradients regulate the pumping rate and the switching of the pumping and inactive modes. A direct consequence of mode-switching is all-or-none stochastic fluctuations in the electrochemical gradient of synaptic vesicles that would be expected to introduce stochasticity in proton-driven secondary active loading of neurotransmitters and may thus have important implications for neurotransmission. This work reveals and emphasizes the mechanistic and biological importance of ultraslow mode-switching.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthases (F0F1-ATPases) are crucial for all aerobic organisms. F1, a water-soluble domain, can catalyze both the synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP with the rotation of the central γε rotor inside a cylinder made of α 3 β 3 in three different conformations (referred to as β E, β TP, and β DP). In this study, we determined multiple cryo-electron microscopy structures of bacterial F0F1 exposed to different reaction conditions. The structures of nucleotide-depleted F0F1 indicate that the ε subunit directly forces β TP to adopt a closed form independent of the nucleotide binding to β TP. The structure of F0F1 under conditions that permit only a single catalytic β subunit per enzyme to bind ATP is referred to as unisite catalysis and reveals that ATP hydrolysis unexpectedly occurs on β TP instead of β DP, where ATP hydrolysis proceeds in the steady-state catalysis of F0F1. This indicates that the unisite catalysis of bacterial F0F1 significantly differs from the kinetics of steady-state turnover with continuous rotation of the shaft.

A review on lactoferrin as a proton pump inhibitor. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 202:309-317. [PMID: 35038474 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.01.075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Lactoferrin (Lf) is a versatile natural milk-derived protein that exhibits multiple interesting biological activities. Since it is safe for human administration and currently manufactured using low cost and well-established large-scale processes, the Lf scientific community has been devoted at dissecting its mechanisms of action towards its more rational and efficient use for various applications. Emerging literature has identified proton pumping ATPases as molecular targets of Lf in different cellular models linked to distinct activities of this natural protein. Information on this subject has not been systematically analysed before, hence herein we review the current state of art on the effect of Lf on proton pumping ATPases. Though structurally different, we propose that Lf holds a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-like activity based on the functional resemblance with the classical inhibitors of the stomach H+/K+-ATPase. The downstream events and outcomes of the PPI-like activity of Lf, as well as its impact for the development of improved Lf applications are also discussed.

Structural snapshots of V/A-ATPase reveal the rotary catalytic mechanism of rotary ATPases. Nat Commun 2022; 13:1213.

Abstract
V/A-ATPase is a motor protein that shares a common rotary catalytic mechanism with FoF1 ATP synthase. When powered by ATP hydrolysis, the V1 domain rotates the central rotor against the A3B3 hexamer, composed of three catalytic AB dimers adopting different conformations (ABopen, ABsemi, and ABclosed). Here, we report the atomic models of 18 catalytic intermediates of the V1 domain of V/A-ATPase under different reaction conditions, determined by single particle cryo-EM. The models reveal that the rotor does not rotate immediately after binding of ATP to the V1. Instead, three events proceed simultaneously with the 120˚ rotation of the shaft: hydrolysis of ATP in ABsemi, zipper movement in ABopen by the binding ATP, and unzipper movement in ABclosed with release of both ADP and Pi. This indicates the unidirectional rotation of V/A-ATPase by a ratchet-like mechanism owing to ATP hydrolysis in ABsemi, rather than the power stroke model proposed previously for F1-ATPase. The rotary ATPases use a rotary catalytic mechanism to drive transmembrane proton movement powered by ATP hydrolysis. Here, the authors report a collection of V/A-ATPase V1 domain structures, providing insights into rotary mechanism of the enzyme and potentially other rotary motor proteins driven by ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Application of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is crucially important for ascertaining the atomic structure of large biomolecules such as ribosomes and protein complexes in membranes. Advances in cryo-EM technology and software have made it possible to obtain data with near-atomic resolution, but the method is still often capable of producing only a density map with up to medium resolution, either partially or entirely. Therefore, bridging the gap separating the density map and the atomic model is necessary. Herein, we propose a methodology for constructing atomic structure models based on cryo-EM maps with low-to-medium resolution. The method is a combination of sensitive and accurate homology modeling using our profile–profile alignment method with a flexible-fitting method using molecular dynamics simulation. As described herein, this study used benchmark applications to evaluate the model constructions of human two-pore channel 2 (one target protein in CASP13 with its structure determined using cryo-EM data) and the overall structure of Enterococcus hirae V-ATPase complex.

Abstract
Combination of butanol-hyperproducing and hypertolerant phenotypes is essential for developing microbial strains suitable for industrial production of bio-butanol, one of the most promising liquid biofuels. Clostridium cellulovorans is among the microbial strains with the highest potential for direct production of n-butanol from lignocellulosic wastes, a process that would significantly reduce the cost of bio-butanol. However, butanol exhibits higher toxicity compared to ethanol and C. cellulovorans tolerance to this solvent is low. In the present investigation, comparative gel-free proteomics was used to study the response of C. cellulovorans to butanol challenge and understand the tolerance mechanisms activated in this condition. Sequential Window Acquisition of all Theoretical fragment ion spectra Mass Spectrometry (SWATH-MS) analysis allowed identification and quantification of differentially expressed soluble proteins. The study data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD024183. The most important response concerned modulation of protein biosynthesis, folding and degradation. Coherent with previous studies on other bacteria, several heat shock proteins (HSPs), involved in protein quality control, were up-regulated such as the chaperones GroES (Cpn10), Hsp90, and DnaJ. Globally, our data indicate that protein biosynthesis is reduced, likely not to overload HSPs. Several additional metabolic adaptations were triggered by butanol exposure such as the up-regulation of V- and F-type ATPases (involved in ATP synthesis/generation of proton motive force), enzymes involved in amino acid (e.g., arginine, lysine, methionine, and branched chain amino acids) biosynthesis and proteins involved in cell envelope re-arrangement (e.g., the products of Clocel_4136, Clocel_4137, Clocel_4144, Clocel_4162 and Clocel_4352, involved in the biosynthesis of saturated fatty acids) and a redistribution of carbon flux through fermentative pathways (acetate and formate yields were increased and decreased, respectively). Based on these experimental findings, several potential gene targets for metabolic engineering strategies aimed at improving butanol tolerance in C. cellulovorans are suggested. This includes overexpression of HSPs (e.g., GroES, Hsp90, DnaJ, ClpC), RNA chaperone Hfq, V- and F-type ATPases and a number of genes whose function in C. cellulovorans is currently unknown.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (V-ATPase) hydrolyze ATP to pump protons across the plasma or intracellular membrane, secreting acids to the lumen or acidifying intracellular compartments. It has been implicated in tumor metastasis, renal tubular acidosis, and osteoporosis. Here, we report two cryo-EM structures of the intact V-ATPase from bovine brain with all the subunits including the subunit H, which is essential for ATPase activity. Two type-I transmembrane proteins, Ac45 and (pro)renin receptor, along with subunit c", constitute the core of the c-ring. Three different conformations of A/B heterodimers suggest a mechanism for ATP hydrolysis that triggers a rotation of subunits DF, inducing spinning of subunit d with respect to the entire c-ring. Moreover, many lipid molecules have been observed in the Vo domain to mediate the interactions between subunit c, c", (pro)renin receptor, and Ac45. These two structures reveal unique features of mammalian V-ATPase and suggest a mechanism of V1-Vo torque transmission.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer remains a major challenge for the success of chemotherapy. Natural products have been a rich source for the discovery of drugs against MDR cancers. Here, we applied high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of an in-house natural product library against MDR SGC7901/VCR cells and identified that the cyclodepsipeptide verucopeptin demonstrated notable antitumor potency. Cytological profiling combined with click chemistry-based proteomics revealed that ATP6V1G directly interacted with verucopeptin. ATP6V1G, a subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) that has not been previously targeted, was essential for SGC7901/VCR cell growth. Verucopeptin exhibited strong inhibition of both v-ATPase activity and mTORC1 signaling, leading to substantial pharmacological efficacy against SGC7901/VCR cell proliferation and tumor growth in vivo. Our results demonstrate that targeting v-ATPase via its V1G subunit constitutes a unique approach for modulating v-ATPase and mTORC1 signaling with great potential for the development of therapeutics against MDR cancers.

Abstract
V-ATPase is an energy converting enzyme, coupling ATP hydrolysis/synthesis in the hydrophilic V1 domain, with proton flow through the Vo membrane domain, via rotation of the central rotor complex relative to the surrounding stator apparatus. Upon dissociation from the V1 domain, the Vo domain of the eukaryotic V-ATPase can adopt a physiologically relevant auto-inhibited form in which proton conductance through the Vo domain is prevented, however the molecular mechanism of this inhibition is not fully understood. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of both the holo V/A-ATPase and isolated Vo at near-atomic resolution, respectively. These structures clarify how the isolated Vo domain adopts the auto-inhibited form and how the holo complex prevents formation of the inhibited Vo form.

Abstract
V (vacuolar)/A (archaeal)-type adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases), found in archaea and eubacteria, couple ATP hydrolysis or synthesis to proton translocation across the plasma membrane using the rotary-catalysis mechanism. They belong to the V-type ATPase family, which differs from the mitochondrial/chloroplast F-type ATP synthases in overall architecture. We solved cryo-electron microscopy structures of the intact Thermus thermophilus V/A-ATPase, reconstituted into lipid nanodiscs, in three rotational states and two substates. These structures indicate substantial flexibility between V1 and Vo in a working enzyme, which results from mechanical competition between central shaft rotation and resistance from the peripheral stalks. We also describe details of adenosine diphosphate inhibition release, V1-Vo torque transmission, and proton translocation, which are relevant for the entire V-type ATPase family.

Abstract
Low-temperature crystal defect dynamics in Si has been studied by a newly developed cryo-high-voltage electron microscopy. The planar {113} defects of self-interstitial atoms were introduced at 94 K by 1 MeV electron irradiation with damage higher than 0.42 displacements per atom (dpa), unlike past findings. The defects once grew and then shrunk during the observation. We show that the nucleation and the dissociation dynamics of the {113} defects can be attributed to an athermal process, which is deduced from anomalously fast diffusion of self-interstitial atoms at a low temperature.

Abstract
V1-ATPase (V1), the catalytic domain of an ion-pumping V-ATPase, is a molecular motor that converts ATP hydrolysis-derived chemical energy into rotation. Here, using a gold nanoparticle probe, we directly observed rotation of V1 from the pathogen Enterococcus hirae (EhV1). We found that 120° steps in each ATP hydrolysis event are divided into 40 and 80° substeps. In the main pause before the 40° substep and at low ATP concentration ([ATP]), the time constant was inversely proportional to [ATP], indicating that ATP binds during the main pause with a rate constant of 1.0 × 107 m-1 s-1 At high [ATP], we observed two [ATP]-independent time constants (0.5 and 0.7 ms). One of two time constants was prolonged (144 ms) in a rotation driven by slowly hydrolyzable ATPγS, indicating that ATP is cleaved during the main pause. In another subpause before the 80° substep, we noted an [ATP]-independent time constant (2.5 ms). Furthermore, in an ATP-driven rotation of an arginine-finger mutant in the presence of ADP, -80 and -40° backward steps were observed. The time constants of the pauses before -80° backward and +40° recovery steps were inversely proportional to [ADP] and [ATP], respectively, indicating that ADP- and ATP-binding events trigger these steps. Assuming that backward steps are reverse reactions, we conclude that 40 and 80° substeps are triggered by ATP binding and ADP release, respectively, and that the remaining time constant in the main pause represents phosphate release. We propose a chemo-mechanical coupling scheme of EhV1, including substeps largely different from those of F1-ATPases.

Abstract
Proton-translocating rotary ATPases couple proton influx across the membrane domain and ATP hydrolysis/synthesis in the soluble domain through rotation of the central rotor axis against the surrounding peripheral stator apparatus. It is a significant challenge to determine the structure of rotary ATPases due to their intrinsic conformational heterogeneity and instability. Recent progress of single particle analysis of protein complexes using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enabled the determination of whole rotary ATPase structures and made it possible to classify different rotational states of the enzymes at a near atomic resolution. Three cryo-EM maps corresponding to different rotational states of the V/A type H+-rotary ATPase from a bacterium Thermus thermophilus provide insights into the rotation of the whole complex, which allow us to determine the movement of each subunit during rotation. In addition, this review describes methodological developments to determine higher resolution cryo-EM structures, such as specimen preparation, to improve the image contrast of membrane proteins.

Abstract
The characterization of functional yet nonprotein coding (nc) RNAs has expanded the role of RNA in the cell from a passive player in the central dogma of molecular biology to an active regulator of gene expression. The misregulation of ncRNA function has been linked with a variety of diseases and disorders ranging from cancers to neurodegeneration. However, a detailed molecular understanding of how ncRNAs function has been limited; due, in part, to the difficulties associated with obtaining high-resolution structures of large RNAs. Tertiary structure determination of RNA as a whole is hampered by various technical challenges, all of which are exacerbated as the size of the RNA increases. Namely, RNAs tend to be highly flexible and dynamic molecules, which are difficult to crystallize. Biomolecular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers a viable alternative to determining the structure of large RNA molecules that do not readily crystallize, but is itself hindered by some technical limitations. Recently, a series of advancements have allowed the biomolecular NMR field to overcome, at least in part, some of these limitations. These advances include improvements in sample preparation strategies as well as methodological improvements. Together, these innovations pave the way for the study of ever larger RNA molecules that have important biological function. This article is categorized under: RNA Structure and Dynamics > RNA Structure, Dynamics, and Chemistry Regulatory RNAs/RNAi/Riboswitches > Regulatory RNAs RNA Structure and Dynamics > Influence of RNA Structure in Biological Systems.

Abstract
Of all the macromolecular assemblies of life, the least understood is the biomembrane. This is especially true in regard to its atomic structure. Ideas on biomembranes, developed in the last 200 years, culminated in the fluid mosaic model of the membrane. In this essay, I provide a historical outline of how we arrived at our current understanding of biomembranes and the models we use to describe them. A selection of direct experimental findings on the nano-scale structure of biomembranes is taken up to discuss their physical nature, and special emphasis is put on the surprising insights that arise from atomic scale descriptions.

Abstract
F-ATP synthases use proton flow through the FO domain to synthesize ATP in the F₁ domain. In Escherichia coli, the enzyme consists of rotor subunits γεc10 and stator subunits (αβ)₃δab₂. Subunits c10 or (αβ)₃ alone are rotationally symmetric. However, symmetry is broken by the b₂ homodimer, which together with subunit δa, forms a single eccentric stalk connecting the membrane embedded FO domain with the soluble F₁ domain, and the central rotating and curved stalk composed of subunit γε. Although each of the three catalytic binding sites in (αβ)₃ catalyzes the same set of partial reactions in the time average, they might not be fully equivalent at any moment, because the structural symmetry is broken by contact with b₂δ in F₁ and with b₂a in FO. We monitored the enzyme's rotary progression during ATP hydrolysis by three single-molecule techniques: fluorescence video-microscopy with attached actin filaments, Förster resonance energy transfer between pairs of fluorescence probes, and a polarization assay using gold nanorods. We found that one dwell in the three-stepped rotary progression lasting longer than the other two by a factor of up to 1.6. This effect of the structural asymmetry is small due to the internal elastic coupling.

Abstract
EhV-ATPase is an ATP-driven Na+ pump in the eubacteria Enterococcus hirae (Eh). Here, we present the first entire structure of detergent-solubilized EhV-ATPase by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) using Zernike phase plate. The cryo-EM map dominantly showed one of three catalytic conformations in this rotary enzyme. To further stabilize the originally heterogeneous structure caused by the ATP hydrolysis states of the V1-ATPases, a peptide epitope tag system was adopted, in which the inserted peptide epitope sequence interfered with rotation of the central rotor by binding the Fab. As a result, the map unexpectedly showed another catalytic conformation of EhV-ATPase. Interestingly, these two conformations identified with and without Fab conversely coincided with those of the minor state 2 and the major state 1 of Thermus thermophilus V/A-ATPase, respectively. The most prominent feature in EhV-ATPase was the off-axis rotor, where the cytoplasmic V1 domain was connected to the transmembrane Vo domain through the off-axis central rotor. Furthermore, compared to the structure of ATP synthases, the larger size of the interface between the transmembrane a-subunit and c-ring of EhV-ATPase would be more advantageous for active ion pumping.

Abstract
Rotary ATPases are a family of enzymes that are thought of as molecular nanomotors and are classified in three types: F, A, and V-type ATPases. Two members (F and A-type) can synthesize and hydrolyze ATP, depending on the energetic needs of the cell, while the V-type enzyme exhibits only a hydrolytic activity. The overall architecture of all these enzymes is conserved and three main sectors are distinguished: a catalytic core, a rotor and a stator or peripheral stalk. The peripheral stalks of the A and V-types are highly conserved in both structure and function, however, the F-type peripheral stalks have divergent structures. Furthermore, the peripheral stalk has other roles beyond its stator function, as evidenced by several biochemical and recent structural studies. This review describes the information regarding the organization of the peripheral stalk components of F, A, and V-ATPases, highlighting the key differences between the studied enzymes, as well as the different processes in which the structure is involved.
