Abstract
F1 domain of ATP synthase is a rotary ATPase complex in which rotation of central γ-subunit proceeds in 120° steps against a surrounding α3β3 fueled by ATP hydrolysis. How the ATP hydrolysis reactions occurring in three catalytic αβ dimers are coupled to mechanical rotation is a key outstanding question. Here we describe catalytic intermediates of the F1 domain in FoF1 synthase from Bacillus PS3 sp. during ATP mediated rotation captured using cryo-EM. The structures reveal that three catalytic events and the first 80° rotation occur simultaneously in F1 domain when nucleotides are bound at all the three catalytic αβ dimers. The remaining 40° rotation of the complete 120° step is driven by completion of ATP hydrolysis at αDβD, and proceeds through three sub-steps (83°, 91°, 101°, and 120°) with three associated conformational intermediates. All sub-steps except for one between 91° and 101° associated with phosphate release, occur independently of the chemical cycle, suggesting that the 40° rotation is largely driven by release of intramolecular strain accumulated by the 80° rotation. Together with our previous results, these findings provide the molecular basis of ATP driven rotation of ATP synthases.

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
This review discusses the history of discovery and study of the operation of the two rotary ion-translocating ATPase nano-motors: (i) F-ATPase/synthase (holocomplex F1FO) of mitochondria/bacteria and (ii) eukaryotic V-ATPase (holocomplex V1VO). Vacuolar adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) is a transmembrane multisubunit complex found in all eukaryotes from yeast to humans. It is structurally and functionally similar to the F-ATPase/synthase of mitochondria/bacteria and the A-ATPase/synthase of archaebacteria, which indicates a common evolutionary origin of the rotary ion-translocating nano-motors built into cell membranes and invented by Nature billions of years ago. Previously we have published several reviews on this topic with appropriate citations of our original research. This review is focused on the historical analysis of the discovery and study of transmembrane rotary ion-translocating ATPase nano-motors functioning in bacteria, eukaryotic cells and mitochondria of animals.

Abstract
Progress in structural membrane biology has been significantly accelerated by the ongoing ‘Resolution Revolution’ in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). In particular, structure determination by single-particle analysis has evolved into the most powerful method for atomic model building of multisubunit membrane protein complexes. This has created an ever-increasing demand in cryo-EM machine time, which to satisfy is in need of new and affordable cryo-electron microscopes. Here, we review our experience in using the JEOL CRYO ARM 200 prototype for the structure determination by single-particle analysis of three different multisubunit membrane complexes: the Thermus thermophilus V-type ATPase VO complex, the Thermosynechococcus elongatus photosystem I monomer and the flagellar motor lipopolysaccharide peptidoglycan ring (LP ring) from Salmonella enterica.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. BIOENERGETICS 2022; 1863:148544.

Abstract
Proton-translocating FOF1 ATP synthase (F-ATPase) couples ATP synthesis or hydrolysis to transmembrane proton transport in bacteria, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. The primary function of the mitochondrial FOF1 is ATP synthesis driven by protonmotive force (pmf) generated by the respiratory chain. However, when pmf is low or absent (e.g. during anoxia), FOF1 consumes ATP and functions as a proton-pumping ATPase. Several regulatory mechanisms suppress the ATPase activity of FOF1 at low pmf. In yeast mitochondria they include special inhibitory proteins Inh1p and Stf1p, and non-competitive inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by MgADP (ADP-inhibition). Presumably, these mechanisms help the cell to preserve the ATP pool upon membrane de-energization. However, no direct evidence was presented to support this hypothesis so far. Here we report that a point mutation Q263L in subunit beta of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATP synthase significantly attenuated ADP-inhibition of the enzyme without major effect on the rate of ATP production by mitochondria. The mutation also decreased the sensitivity of the enzyme ATPase activity to azide. Similar effects of the corresponding mutations were observed in earlier studies in bacterial enzymes. This observation indicates that the molecular mechanism of ADP-inhibition is probably the same in mitochondrial and in bacterial FOF1. The mutant yeast strain had lower growth rate and had a longer lag period preceding exponential growth phase when starved cells were transferred to fresh growth medium. However, upon the loss of mitochondrial DNA (ρ0) the βQ263L mutation effect was reversed: the βQ263L ρ0 mutant grew faster than the wild-type ρ0 yeast. The results suggest that ADP-inhibition might play a role in prevention of wasteful ATP hydrolysis in the mitochondrial matrix.

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
Ion-translocating ATPases and ATP synthases (F-, V-, A-type ATPases, and several P-type ATPases and ABC-transporters) catalyze ATP hydrolysis or ATP synthesis coupled with the ion transport across the membrane. F-, V-, and A-ATPases are protein nanomachines that combine transmembrane transport of protons or sodium ions with ATP synthesis/hydrolysis by means of a rotary mechanism. These enzymes are composed of two multisubunit subcomplexes that rotate relative to each other during catalysis. Rotary ATPases phosphorylate/dephosphorylate nucleotides directly, without the generation of phosphorylated protein intermediates. F-type ATPases are found in chloroplasts, mitochondria, most eubacteria, and in few archaea. V-type ATPases are eukaryotic enzymes present in a variety of cellular membranes, including the plasma membrane, vacuoles, late endosomes, and trans-Golgi cisternae. A-type ATPases are found in archaea and some eubacteria. F- and A-ATPases have two main functions: ATP synthesis powered by the proton motive force (pmf) or, in some prokaryotes, sodium-motive force (smf) and generation of the pmf or smf at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. In prokaryotes, both functions may be vitally important, depending on the environment and the presence of other enzymes capable of pmf or smf generation. In eukaryotes, the primary and the most crucial function of F-ATPases is ATP synthesis. Eukaryotic V-ATPases function exclusively as ATP-dependent proton pumps that generate pmf necessary for the transmembrane transport of ions and metabolites and are vitally important for pH regulation. This review describes the diversity of rotary ion-translocating ATPases from different organisms and compares the structural, functional, and regulatory features of these enzymes.

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
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
The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis responds to starvation by entering a morphological differentiation process leading to the formation of a highly resistant spore. Early in the sporulation process, the cell asymmetrically divides into a large compartment (the mother cell) and a smaller one (the forespore), which will maturate into a resistant spore. Proper development of the forespore requires the assembly of a multiprotein complex called the SpoIIIA-SpoIIQ complex or "A-Q complex". This complex involves the forespore protein SpoIIQ and eight mother cell proteins (SpoIIIAA to SpoIIIAH), many of which share structural similarities with components of specialized secretion systems and flagella found in Gram-negative bacteria. The assembly of the A-Q complex across the two membranes that separate the mother cell and forespore was recently shown to require GerM. GerM is a lipoprotein composed of two GerMN domains, a family of domains with unknown function. Here, we report X-ray crystallographic structures of the first GerMN domain of GerM at 1.0 Å resolution, and of the soluble domain of GerM (the tandem of GerMN domains) at 2.1 Å resolution. These structures reveal that GerMN domains can adopt distinct conformations and that the core of these domains display structural similarities with ring-building motifs found in components of specialized secretion system and in SpoIIIA proteins. This work provides an additional piece towards the structural characterization of the A-Q complex.

Abstract
Rotary ATPases are unique rotary molecular motors that function as energy conversion machines. Among all known rotary ATPases, F1-ATPase is the best characterized rotary molecular motor. There are many high-resolution crystal structures and the rotation dynamics have been investigated in detail by extensive single-molecule studies. In contrast, knowledge on the structure and rotation dynamics of V1-ATPase, another rotary ATPase, has been limited. However, recent high-resolution structural studies and single-molecule studies on V1-ATPase have provided new insights on how the catalytic sites in this molecular motor change its conformation during rotation driven by ATP hydrolysis. In this review, we summarize recent information on the structural features and rotary dynamics of V1-ATPase revealed from structural and single-molecule approaches and discuss the possible chemomechanical coupling scheme of V1-ATPase with a focus on differences between rotary molecular motors.

Cryo EM structure of intact rotary H +-ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus. Nat Commun 2018; 9:89.

Abstract
Proton translocating rotary ATPases couple ATP hydrolysis/synthesis, which occurs in the soluble domain, with proton flow through the membrane domain via a rotation of the common central rotor complex against the surrounding peripheral stator apparatus. Here, we present a large data set of single particle cryo-electron micrograph images of the V/A type H+-rotary ATPase from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus, enabling the identification of three rotational states based on the orientation of the rotor subunit. Using masked refinement and classification with signal subtractions, we obtain homogeneous reconstructions for the whole complexes and soluble V1 domains. These reconstructions are of higher resolution than any EM map of intact rotary ATPase reported previously, providing a detailed molecular basis for how the rotary ATPase maintains structural integrity of the peripheral stator apparatus, and confirming the existence of a clear proton translocation path from both sides of the membrane.

Abstract
F1- and V1-ATPase are rotary molecular motors that convert chemical energy released upon ATP hydrolysis into torque to rotate a central rotor axle against the surrounding catalytic stator cylinder with high efficiency. How conformational change occurring in the stator is coupled to the rotary motion of the axle is the key unknown in the mechanism of rotary motors. Here, we generated chimeric motor proteins by inserting an exogenous rod protein, FliJ, into the stator ring of F1 or of V1 and tested the rotation properties of these chimeric motors. Both motors showed unidirectional and continuous rotation, despite no obvious homology in amino acid sequence between FliJ and the intrinsic rotor subunit of F1 or V1 These results showed that any residue-specific interactions between the stator and rotor are not a prerequisite for unidirectional rotation of both F1 and V1 The torque of chimeric motors estimated from viscous friction of the rotation probe against medium revealed that whereas the F1-FliJ chimera generates only 10% of WT F1, the V1-FliJ chimera generates torque comparable to that of V1 with the native axle protein that is structurally more similar to FliJ than the native rotor of F1 This suggests that the gross structural mismatch hinders smooth rotation of FliJ accompanied with the stator ring of F1.

Abstract
ATP synthesis is a critical and universal life process carried out by ATP synthases. Whereas eukaryotic and prokaryotic ATP synthases are well characterized, archaeal ATP synthases are relatively poorly understood. The hyperthermophilic archaeal parasite, Nanoarcheaum equitans, lacks several subunits of the ATP synthase and is suspected to be energetically dependent on its host, Ignicoccus hospitalis. This suggests that this ATP synthase might be a rudimentary machine. Here, we report the crystal structures and biophysical studies of the regulatory subunit, NeqB, the apo-NeqAB, and NeqAB in complex with nucleotides, ADP, and adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (non-hydrolysable analog of ATP). NeqB is ∼20 amino acids shorter at its C terminus than its homologs, but this does not impede its binding with NeqA to form the complex. The heterodimeric NeqAB complex assumes a closed, rigid conformation irrespective of nucleotide binding; this differs from its homologs, which require conformational changes for catalytic activity. Thus, although N. equitans possesses an ATP synthase core A3B3 hexameric complex, it might not function as a bona fide ATP synthase.

Abstract
V-ATPase (V(o)V1) converts the chemical free energy of ATP into an ion-motive force across the cell membrane via mechanical rotation. This energy conversion requires proper interactions between the rotor and stator in V(o)V1 for tight coupling among chemical reaction, torque generation, and ion transport. We developed an Escherichia coli expression system for Enterococcus hirae V(o)V1 (EhV(o)V1) and established a single-molecule rotation assay to measure the torque generated. Recombinant and native EhV(o)V1 exhibited almost identical dependence of ATP hydrolysis activity on sodium ion and ATP concentrations, indicating their functional equivalence. In a single-molecule rotation assay with a low load probe at high ATP concentration, EhV(o)V1 only showed the "clear" state without apparent backward steps, whereas EhV1 showed two states, "clear" and "unclear." Furthermore, EhV(o)V1 showed slower rotation than EhV1 without the three distinct pauses separated by 120° that were observed in EhV1. When using a large probe, EhV(o)V1 showed faster rotation than EhV1, and the torque of EhV(o)V1 estimated from the continuous rotation was nearly double that of EhV1. On the other hand, stepping torque of EhV1 in the clear state was comparable with that of EhV(o)V1. These results indicate that rotor-stator interactions of the V(o) moiety and/or sodium ion transport limit the rotation driven by the V1 moiety, and the rotor-stator interactions in EhV(o)V1 are stabilized by two peripheral stalks to generate a larger torque than that of isolated EhV1. However, the torque value was substantially lower than that of other rotary ATPases, implying the low energy conversion efficiency of EhV(o)V1.

Abstract
F1-ATPase from Bacillus subtilis (BF1) is severely suppressed by the MgADP inhibition. Here, we have tested if this is due to the loss of nucleotide binding to the noncatalytic site that is required for the activation. Measurements with a tryptophan mutant of BF1 indicated that the noncatalytic sites could bind ATP normally. Furthermore, the mutant BF1 that cannot bind ATP to the noncatalytic sites showed much lower ATPase activity. It was concluded that the cause of strong MgADP inhibition of BF1 is not the weak nucleotide binding to the noncatalytic sites but the other steps required for the activation.

Abstract
The time course of ATP synthesis, oxygen consumption, and change in the membrane potential in Paracoccus denitrificans inside-out plasma membrane vesicles was traced. ATP synthesis initiated by the addition of a limited amount of either ADP or inorganic phosphate proceeded up to very low residual concentrations of the limiting substrate. Accumulated ATP did not decrease the rate of its synthesis initiated by the addition of ADP. The amount of residual ADP determined at State 4 respiration was independent of ten-fold variation of Pi or the presence of ATP. The pH-dependence of Km for Pi could not be fitted to a simple phosphoric acid dissociation curve. Partial inhibition of respiration resulted in a decrease in the rate of ATP synthesis without affecting the ATP/ADP reached at State 4. At pH8.0, hydrolysis of ATP accumulated at State 4 was induced by a low concentration of an uncoupler, whereas complete uncoupling results in rapid inactivation of ATPase. At pH7.0, no reversal of the ATP synthase reaction by the uncoupler was seen. The data show that ATP/ADP×Pi ratio maintained at State 4 is not in equilibrium with respiratory-generated driving force. Possible mechanisms of kinetic control and unidirectional operation of the Fo·F1-ATP synthase are discussed.

Abstract
Reduction of ATP hydrolysis activity of vacuolar-type ATPase/synthase (V0V1) as a result of ADP inhibition occurs as part of the normal mechanism of V0V1 of Thermus thermophilus but not V0V1 of Enterococcus hirae or eukaryotes. To investigate the molecular basis for this difference, domain-swapped chimeric V1 consisting of both T. thermophilus and E. hirae enzymes were generated, and their function was analyzed. The data showed that the interaction between the nucleotide binding and C-terminal domains of the catalytic A subunit from E. hirae V1 is central to increasing binding affinity of the chimeric V1 for phosphate, resulting in reduction of the ADP inhibition. These findings together with a comparison of the crystal structures of T. thermophilus V1 with E. hirae V1 strongly suggest that the A subunit adopts a conformation in T. thermophilus V1 different from that in E. hirae V1. This key difference results in ADP inhibition of T. thermophilus V1 by abolishing the binding affinity for phosphate during ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
The V1- and F1- rotary ATPases contain a rotor that rotates against a catalytic A3B3 or α3β3 stator. The rotor F1-γ or V1-DF is composed of both anti-parallel coiled coil and globular-loop parts. The bacterial flagellar type III export apparatus contains a V1/F1-like ATPase ring structure composed of FliI6 homo-hexamer and FliJ which adopts an anti-parallel coiled coil structure without the globular-loop part. Here we report that FliJ of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium shows a rotor like function in Thermus thermophilus A3B3 based on both biochemical and structural analysis. Single molecular analysis indicates that an anti-parallel coiled-coil structure protein (FliJ structure protein) functions as a rotor in A3B3. A rotary ATPase possessing an F1-γ-like protein generated by fusion of the D and F subunits of V1 rotates, suggesting F1-γ could be the result of a fusion of the genes encoding two separate rotor subunits. Together with sequence comparison among the globular part proteins, the data strongly suggest that the rotor domains of the rotary ATPases and the flagellar export apparatus share a common evolutionary origin.

Abstract
V(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor protein that rotates the central shaft in a counterclockwise direction hydrolyzing ATP. Although the ATP-binding process is suggested to be the most critical reaction step for torque generation in F(1)-ATPase (the closest relative of V(1)-ATPase evolutionarily), the role of ATP binding for V(1)-ATPase in torque generation has remained unclear. In the present study, we performed single-molecule manipulation experiments on V(1)-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus to investigate how the ATP-binding process is modulated upon rotation of the rotary shaft. When V(1)-ATPase showed an ATP-waiting pause, it was stalled at a target angle and then released. Based on the response of the V(1)-ATPase released, the ATP-binding probability was determined at individual stall angles. It was observed that the rate constant of ATP binding (k(on)) was exponentially accelerated with forward rotation, whereas the rate constant of ATP release (k(off)) was exponentially reduced. The angle dependence of the k(off) of V(1)-ATPase was significantly smaller than that of F(1)-ATPase, suggesting that the ATP-binding process is not the major torque-generating step in V(1)-ATPase. When V(1)-ATPase was stalled at the mean binding angle to restrict rotary Brownian motion, k(on) was evidently slower than that determined from free rotation, showing the reaction rate enhancement by conformational fluctuation. It was also suggested that shaft of V(1)-ATPase should be rotated at least 277° in a clockwise direction for efficient release of ATP under ATP-synthesis conditions.

Abstract
V(1)-ATPase, the hydrophilic V-ATPase domain, is a rotary motor fueled by ATP hydrolysis. Here, we found that Thermus thermophilus V(1)-ATPase shows two types of inhibitory pauses interrupting continuous rotation: a short pause (SP, 4.2 s) that occurred frequently during rotation, and a long inhibitory pause (LP, >30 min) that terminated all active rotations. Both pauses occurred at the same angle for ATP binding and hydrolysis. Kinetic analysis revealed that the time constants of inactivation into and activation from the SP were too short to represent biochemically predicted ADP inhibition, suggesting that SP is a newly identified inhibitory state of V(1)-ATPase. The time constant of inactivation into LP was 17 min, consistent with one of the two time constants governing the inactivation process observed in bulk ATPase assay. When forcibly rotated in the forward direction, V(1) in LP resumed active rotation. Solution ADP suppressed the probability of mechanical activation, suggesting that mechanical rotation enhanced inhibitory ADP release. These features were highly consistent with mechanical activation of ADP-inhibited F(1), suggesting that LP represents the ADP-inhibited state of V(1)-ATPase. Mechanical activation largely depended on the direction and angular displacement of forced rotation, implying that V(1)-ATPase rotation modulates the off rate of ADP.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type rotary H+-ATPase/synthase (VoV1) from Thermus thermophilus, composed of nine subunits, A, B, D, F, C, E, G, I, and L, has been reconstituted from individually isolated V1 (A3B3D1F1) and Vo (C1E2G2I1L12) subcomplexes in vitro. A3B3D and A3B3 also reconstituted with Vo, resulting in a holoenzyme-like complexes. However, A3B3D-Vo and A3B3-Vo did not show ATP synthesis and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase activity. The reconstitution process was monitored in real time by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between an acceptor dye attached to subunit F or D in V1 or A3B3D and a donor dye attached to subunit C in Vo. The estimated dissociation constants Kd for VoV1 and A3B3D-Vo were ∼0.3 and ∼1 nm at 25 °C, respectively. These results suggest that the A3B3 domain tightly associated with the two EG peripheral stalks of Vo, even in the absence of the central shaft subunits. In addition, F subunit is essential for coupling of ATP hydrolysis and proton translocation and has a key role in the stability of whole complex. However, the contribution of the F subunit to the association of A3B3 with Vo is much lower than that of the EG peripheral stalks.

Abstract
Proton pumping of the vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase into the lumen of the central plant organelle generates a proton gradient of often 1-2 pH units or more. Although structural aspects of the V-type ATPase have been studied in great detail, the question of whether and how the proton pump action is controlled by the proton concentration on both sides of the membrane is not understood. Applying the patch clamp technique to isolated vacuoles from Arabidopsis mesophyll cells in the whole-vacuole mode, we studied the response of the V-ATPase to protons, voltage, and ATP. Current-voltage relationships at different luminal pH values indicated decreasing coupling ratios with acidification. A detailed study of ATP-dependent H(+)-pump currents at a variety of different pH conditions showed a complex regulation of V-ATPase activity by both cytosolic and vacuolar pH. At cytosolic pH 7.5, vacuolar pH changes had relative little effects. Yet, at cytosolic pH 5.5, a 100-fold increase in vacuolar proton concentration resulted in a 70-fold increase of the affinity for ATP binding on the cytosolic side. Changes in pH on either side of the membrane seem to be transferred by the V-ATPase to the other side. A mathematical model was developed that indicates a feedback of proton concentration on peak H(+) current amplitude (v(max)) and ATP consumption (K(m)) of the V-ATPase. It proposes that for efficient V-ATPase function dissociation of transported protons from the pump protein might become higher with increasing pH. This feature results in an optimization of H(+) pumping by the V-ATPase according to existing H(+) concentrations.

Abstract
Vacuole-type ATPases (VoV1) and FoF1 ATP synthases couple ATP hydrolysis/synthesis in the soluble V1 or F1 portion with proton (or Na+) flow in the membrane-embedded Vo or Fo portion through rotation of one common shaft. Here we show at submillisecond resolutions the ATP-driven rotation of isolated V1 and the whole VoV1 from Thermus thermophilus, by attaching a 40-nm gold bead for which viscous drag is almost negligible. V1 made 120° steps, commensurate with the presence of three catalytic sites. Dwells between the steps involved at least two events other than ATP binding, one likely to be ATP hydrolysis. VoV1 exhibited 12 dwell positions per revolution, consistent with the 12-fold symmetry of the Vo rotor in T. thermophilus. Unlike F1 that undergoes 80°–40° substepping, chemo-mechanical checkpoints in isolated V1 are all at the ATP-waiting position, and Vo adds further bumps through stator–rotor interactions outside and remote from V1. Rotary ATPases FoF1 and VoV1 couple ATP hydrolysis with proton flow. Furuike et al. observe ATP-driven rotation in V1 and VoV1, at submillisecond resolution, and find that rate-limiting reactions in V1 all occur at the same angle, and stator–rotor interactions in Vo introduce additional checkpoints.

Abstract
The electron transfer chain in Porphyromonas gingivalis, or periodontopathogens, has not yet been characterized. P. gingivalis, a strict anaerobic bacteria and the second colonizer of the oral cavity, is considered to be a major causal agent involved in periodontal diseases. Primary colonizers create a favorable environment for P. gingivalis growth by decreasing oxygen pressure. Oxygen does not appear to be the final electron acceptor of the respiratory chain. Fumarate and cytochrome b have been implicated as major components of the respiratory activity. However, the P. gingivalis genome shows many other enzymes that could be implicated in aerobic or nitrite respiration. Using bioinformatic tools and literature studies of respiratory pathways, the ATP synthesis mechanism from the sodium cycle and nutrients metabolism, the putative respirasome of P. gingivalis has been proposed.

Abstract
The eubacterium Thermus thermophilus uses a macromolecular assembly closely related to eukaryotic V-ATPase to produce its supply of ATP. This simplified V-ATPase offers several advantages over eukaryotic V-ATPases for structural analysis and investigation of the mechanism of the enzyme. Here we report the structure of the complex at approximately 16 A resolution as determined by single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM). The resolution of the map and our use of cryo-EM, rather than negative stain EM, reveals detailed information about the internal organization of the assembly. We could separate the map into segments corresponding to subunits A and B, the threefold pseudosymmetric C-subunit, a central rotor consisting of subunits D and F, the L-ring, the stator subcomplex consisting of subunits I, E, and G, and a micelle of bound detergent. The architecture of the V(O) region shows a remarkably small area of contact between the I-subunit and the ring of L-subunits and is consistent with a two half-channel model for proton translocation. The arrangement of structural elements in V(O) gives insight into the mechanism of torque generation from proton translocation.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type ATPases (V-ATPases) exist in various cellular membranes of many organisms to regulate physiological processes by controlling the acidic environment. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of the A(3)B(3) subcomplex of V-ATPase at 2.8 A resolution. The overall construction of the A(3)B(3) subcomplex is significantly different from that of the alpha(3)beta(3) sub-domain in F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase, because of the presence of a protruding 'bulge' domain feature in the catalytic A subunits. The A(3)B(3) subcomplex structure provides the first molecular insight at the catalytic and non-catalytic interfaces, which was not possible in the structures of the separate subunits alone. Specifically, in the non-catalytic interface, the B subunit seems to be incapable of binding ATP, which is a marked difference from the situation indicated by the structure of the F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase. In the catalytic interface, our mutational analysis, on the basis of the A(3)B(3) structure, has highlighted the presence of a cluster composed of key hydrophobic residues, which are essential for ATP hydrolysis by V-ATPases.

Abstract
Enterococcus hirae vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is composed of a soluble catalytic domain (V(1); NtpA(3)-B(3)-D-G) and an integral membrane domain (V(0); NtpI-K(10)) connected by a central and peripheral stalk(s) (NtpC and NtpE-F). Here we examined the nucleotide binding of NtpA monomer, NtpB monomer or NtpD-G heterodimer purified by using Escherichia coli expression system in vivo or in vitro, and the reconstitution of the V(1) portion with these polypeptides. The affinity of nucleotide binding to NtpA was 6.6 microM for ADP or 3.1 microM for ATP, while NtpB or NtpD-G did not show any binding. The NtpA and NtpB monomers assembled into NtpA(3)-B(3) heterohexamer in nucleotide binding-dependent manner. NtpD-G bound NtpA(3)-B(3) forming V(1) (NtpA(3)-B(3)-D-G) complex independent of nucleotides. The V(1) formation from individual NtpA and NtpB monomers with NtpD-G heterodimer was absolutely dependent on nucleotides. The ATPase activity of reconstituted V(1) complex was as high as that of native V(1)-ATPase purified from the V(0)V(1) complex by EDTA treatment of cell membrane. This in vitro reconstitution system of E. hirae V(1) complex will be valuable for characterizing the subunit-subunit interactions and assembly mechanism of the V(1)-ATPase complex.

Abstract
V-type ATPases (V-ATPases) are categorized as rotary ATP synthase/ATPase complexes. The V-ATPases are distinct from F-ATPases in terms of their rotation scheme, architecture and subunit composition. However, there is no detailed structural information on V-ATPases despite the abundant biochemical and biophysical research. Here, we report a crystallographic study of V1-ATPase, from Thermus thermophilus, which is a soluble component consisting of A, B, D and F subunits. The structure at 4.5 A resolution reveals inter-subunit interactions and nucleotide binding. In particular, the structure of the central stalk composed of D and F subunits was shown to be characteristic of V1-ATPases. Small conformational changes of respective subunits and significant rearrangement of the quaternary structure observed in the three AB pairs were related to the interaction with the straight central stalk. The rotation mechanism is discussed based on a structural comparison between V1-ATPases and F1-ATPases.

Abstract
Tributyltin chloride (TBT-Cl) is an endocrine disruptor found in many animal species, and it is also known to be an inhibitor for the V-ATPases that are emerging as potential targets in the treatment of diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer. We demonstrated by using biochemical and single-molecular imaging techniques that TBT-Cl arrests an elementary step for rotary catalysis of the V(1) motor domain. In the presence of TBT-Cl, the consecutive rotation of V(1) paused for a long duration ( approximately 0.5 s), even at saturated ATP concentrations, and the pausing positions were localized at 120 degrees intervals. Analysis of both the pausing time and moving time revealed that TBT-Cl has little effect on the binding affinity for ATP, but, rather, it arrests the catalytic event(s). This is the first report to demonstrate that an inhibitor arrests an elementary step for rotary catalysis of a V-type ATP-driven rotary motor.

Abstract
The electrochemical H(+) gradient generated in tonoplast vesicles isolated from maize seeds was found to be able to drive the reversal of the catalytic cycle of both vacuolar H(+)-pumps (Façanha and de Meis, 1998). Here we describe the reversibility of the vacuolar V-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) even in the absence of the H(+) gradient in a water-Me2SO co-solvent mixture, resulting in net synthesis of [γ-(32)P]ATP from [(32)P]Pi and ADP. The water-Me2SO (5 to 20 %) media promoted inhibition of both PPi hydrolysis and synthesis reactions whereas it slightly affected the ATP hydrolysis and clearly stimulated the ATP synthesis, which was unaffected by uncoupling agents (FCCP, Triton X-100 or NH4 (+)). This effect of Me2SO on the ATP⇔(32)P exchange reaction seems to be related to a decrease of the apparent K m of the V-ATPase for Pi. The results are in accordance to the concept that the energetics of ATP synthesis catalysis depends on the solvation energies interacting in the enzyme microenvironment. A possible physiological significance of this phenomenon for the metabolism of desiccation-tolerant plant cells is discussed.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) catalyzes ATP synthesis and hydrolysis coupled with proton translocation across membranes via a rotary motor mechanism. Here we report biochemical and biophysical catalytic properties of V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus. ATP hydrolysis of V-ATPase was severely inhibited by entrapment of Mg-ADP in the catalytic site. In contrast, the enzyme was very active for ATP synthesis (approximately 70 s(-1)) with the K(m) values for ADP and phosphate being 4.7 +/- 0.5 and 460 +/- 30 microm, respectively. Single molecule observation showed V-ATPase rotated in a 120 degrees stepwise manner, and analysis of dwelling time allowed the binding rate constant k(on) for ATP to be estimated ( approximately 1.1 x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), which was much lower than the k(on) (= V(max)/K(m)) for ADP ( approximately 1.4 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1)). The slower k(on)(ATP) than k(on)(ADP) and strong Mg-ADP inhibition may contribute to prevent wasteful consumption of ATP under in vivo conditions when the proton motive force collapses.

Abstract
Background The F- and V-type ATPases are rotary molecular machines that couple translocation of protons or sodium ions across the membrane to the synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP. Both the F-type (found in most bacteria and eukaryotic mitochondria and chloroplasts) and V-type (found in archaea, some bacteria, and eukaryotic vacuoles) ATPases can translocate either protons or sodium ions. The prevalent proton-dependent ATPases are generally viewed as the primary form of the enzyme whereas the sodium-translocating ATPases of some prokaryotes are usually construed as an exotic adaptation to survival in extreme environments. Results We combine structural and phylogenetic analyses to clarify the evolutionary relation between the proton- and sodium-translocating ATPases. A comparison of the structures of the membrane-embedded oligomeric proteolipid rings of sodium-dependent F- and V-ATPases reveals nearly identical sets of amino acids involved in sodium binding. We show that the sodium-dependent ATPases are scattered among proton-dependent ATPases in both the F- and the V-branches of the phylogenetic tree. Conclusion Barring convergent emergence of the same set of ligands in several lineages, these findings indicate that the use of sodium gradient for ATP synthesis is the ancestral modality of membrane bioenergetics. Thus, a primitive, sodium-impermeable but proton-permeable cell membrane that harboured a set of sodium-transporting enzymes appears to have been the evolutionary predecessor of the more structurally demanding proton-tight membranes. The use of proton as the coupling ion appears to be a later innovation that emerged on several independent occasions. Reviewers This article was reviewed by J. Peter Gogarten, Martijn A. Huynen, and Igor B. Zhulin. For the full reviews, please go to the Reviewers' comments section.

Abstract
ATP synthesis by V-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus driven by the acid-base transition was investigated. The rate of ATP synthesis increased in parallel with the increase in proton motive force (PMF) >110 mV, which is composed of a difference in proton concentration (DeltapH) and the electrical potential differences (DeltaPsi) across membranes. The optimum rate of synthesis reached 85 s(-1), and the H(+)/ATP ratio of 4.0 +/- 0.1 was obtained. ATP was synthesized at a considerable rate solely by DeltapH, indicating DeltaPsi was not absolutely required for synthesis. Consistent with the H(+)/ATP ratio, cryoelectron micrograph images of 2D crystals of the membrane-bound rotor ring of the V-ATPase at 7.0-A resolution showed the presence of 12 V(o)-c subunits, each composed of two transmembrane helices. These results indicate that symmetry mismatch between the rotor and catalytic domains is not obligatory for rotary ATPases/synthases.

Abstract
Although the reversible dissociation of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme into its V(1) and V(O) complexes is a general mechanism for the regulation of V-ATPases, important aspects are still not understood. By analyzing the endogenous nucleotide content of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme and of the V(1) complex, both purified from Manduca sexta larval midgut, we found that the V(1) complex contained 1.7 molec. of ADP, whereas only 0.3 molec. of ADP were bound to the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme. By contrast, both proteins contained only negligible amounts of ATP. Incubation of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme with various adenine nucleotides revealed that ATP hydrolysis, leading to a state containing tightly bound ADP is necessary for its dissociation.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase or V-type ATPase) is a multisubunit complex comprised of a water-soluble V(1) complex, responsible for ATP hydrolysis, and a membrane-embedded V(o) complex, responsible for proton translocation. The V(1) complex of Thermus thermophilus V-ATPase has the subunit composition of A(3)B(3)DF, in which the A and B subunits form a hexameric ring structure. A central stalk composed of the D and F subunits penetrates the ring. In this study, we investigated the pathway for assembly of the V(1) complex by reconstituting the V(1) complex from the monomeric A and B subunits and DF subcomplex in vitro. Assembly of these components into the V(1) complex required binding of ATP to the A subunit, although hydrolysis of ATP is not necessary. In the absence of the DF subcomplex, the A and B monomers assembled into A(1)B(1) and A(3)B(3) subcomplexes in an ATP binding-dependent manner, suggesting that ATP binding-dependent interaction between the A and B subunits is a crucial step of assembly into V(1) complex. Kinetic analysis of assembly of the A and B monomers into the A(1)B(1) heterodimer using fluorescence resonance energy transfer indicated that the A subunit binds ATP prior to binding the B subunit. Kinetics of binding of a fluorescent ADP analog, N-methylanthraniloyl ADP (mant-ADP), to the monomeric A subunit also supported the rapid nucleotide binding to the A subunit.

Abstract
The A1Ao ATP synthase from archaea represents a class of chimeric ATPases/synthases, whose function and general structural design share characteristics both with vacuolar V1Vo ATPases and with F1Fo ATP synthases. The primary sequences of the two large polypeptides A and B, from the catalytic part, are closely related to the eukaryotic V1Vo ATPases. The chimeric nature of the A1Ao ATP synthase from the archaeon Methanosarcina mazei Gö1 was investigated in terms of nucleotide interaction. Here, we demonstrate the ability of the overexpressed A and B subunits to bind ADP and ATP by photoaffinity labeling. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to map the peptide of subunit B involved in nucleotide interaction. Nucleotide affinities in both subunits were determined by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, indicating a weaker binding of nucleotide analogues to subunit B than to A. In addition, the nucleotide-free crystal structure of subunit B is presented at 1.5 A resolution, providing the first view of the so-called non-catalytic subunit of the A1Ao ATP synthase. Superposition of the A-ATP synthase non-catalytic B subunit and the F-ATP synthase non-catalytic alpha subunit provides new insights into the similarities and differences of these nucleotide-binding ATPase subunits in particular, and into nucleotide binding in general. The arrangement of subunit B within the intact A1Ao ATP synthase is presented.

Abstract
The crystal structure of subunit F of vacuole-type ATPase/synthase (prokaryotic V-ATPase) was determined to of 2.2 A resolution. The subunit reveals unexpected structural similarity to the response regulator proteins that include the Escherichia coli chemotaxis response regulator CheY. The structure was successfully placed into the low-resolution EM structure of the prokaryotic holo-V-ATPase at a location indicated by the results of crosslinking experiments. The crystal structure, together with the single-molecule analysis using fluorescence resonance energy transfer, showed that the subunit F exhibits two conformations, a 'retracted' form in the absence and an 'extended' form in the presence of ATP. Our results postulated that the subunit F is a regulatory subunit in the V-ATPase.

Abstract
The vacuole-type ATPases in eukaryotic cells translocate protons across various biological membranes including the vacuolar membrane by consuming ATP molecules. The E subunit of the multisubunit complex V-ATPase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, which has a molecular weight of 22.88 kDa, has been cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the microbatch method using PEG 4000 as a precipitant at 296 K. A data set to 1.85 A resolution with 98.8% completeness and an Rmerge of 6.5% was collected from a single flash-cooled crystal using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 52.196, b = 55.317, c = 77.481 A, and is most likely to contain one molecule per asymmetric unit.

Abstract
A and B subunits of the V-type Na+-ATPase from Enterococcus hirae were suggested to possess nucleotide binding sites (Murata, T. et al., J. Biochem., 132, 789-794 (2002)), although the B subunit did not have the consensus sequence for nucleotide binding. To further characterize the binding sites in the V-ATPase, we did the photoaffinity labeling study using 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP. A and B subunits were labeled with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP when analysed with SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The peptide fragment of A subunit obtained by lysyl endopeptidase digestion after labeling showed a molecular size of 9 kDa and its amino acid sequencing revealed that it corresponded to residues Arg423-Lys494. The peptide fragment from B subunit after photoaffinity labeling and lysyl endopeptidase digestion showed the size of 5 kDa and corresponded to residues Phe404-Lys443. In our structure model, these peptides were close to the adenine ring of ATP. We suggest that non-catalytic B subunit of E. hirae V-ATPase has a nucleotide binding site, similarly to eukaryotic V-ATPases and F-ATPases.

Abstract
The overall structure of V-ATPase complexes resembles that of F-type ATPases, but the stalk region is different and more complex. Database searches followed by sequence analysis of the five water-soluble stalk region subunits C-G revealed that (i) to date V-ATPases are found in 16 bacterial species, (ii) bacterial V-ATPases are closer to archaeal A-ATPases than to eukaryotic V-ATPases, and (iii) different groups of bacterial V-ATPases exist. Inconsistencies in the nomenclature of types and subunits are addressed. Attempts to assign subunit positions in V-ATPases based on biochemical experiments, chemical cross-linking, and electron microscopy are discussed. A structural model for prokaryotic and eukaryotic V-ATPases is proposed. The prokaryotic V-ATPase is considered to have a central stalk between headpiece and membrane flanked by two peripheral stalks. The eukaryotic V-ATPases have one additional peripheral stalk.

Abstract
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 s(-1)) and was more susceptible to MgADP inhibition during ATP hydrolysis. A(3)B(3)D was able to bind the F subunit to form A(3)B(3)DF. The C-terminally truncated F((Delta85-106)) subunit was also bound to A(3)B(3)D, but the F((Delta69-106)) subunit was not, indicating the importance of residues 69-84 of the F subunit for association with A(3)B(3)D. The ATPase activity of A(3)B(3)DF((Delta85-106)) (V(max) = 24 s(-1)) was intermediate between that of A(3)B(3)D and A(3)B(3)DF. A single molecule experiment showed the rotation of the D subunit in A(3)B(3)D, implying that the F subunit is a dispensable component for rotation itself. Thus, the F subunit binds peripherally to the D subunit, but promotes V(1)-ATPase catalysis.

Abstract
The vacuole-type ATPases (V-ATPases) exist in various intracellular compartments of eukaryotic cells to regulate physiological processes by controlling the acidic environment. The crystal structure of the subunit C of Thermus thermophilus V-ATPase, homologous to eukaryotic subunit d of V-ATPases, has been determined at 1.95-A resolution and located into the holoenzyme complex structure obtained by single particle analysis as suggested by the results of subunit cross-linking experiments. The result shows that V-ATPase is substantially longer than the related F-type ATPase, due to the insertion of subunit C between the V(1) (soluble) and the V(o) (membrane bound) domains. Subunit C, attached to the V(o) domain, seems to have a socket like function in attaching the central-stalk subunits of the V(1) domain. This architecture seems essential for the reversible association/dissociation of the V(1) and the V(o) domains, unique for V-ATPase activity regulation.

Abstract
In order to get insight into the origin of apparent negative cooperativity observed for F(1)-ATPase, we compared ATPase activity and ATPMg binding of mutant subcomplexes of thermophilic F(1)-ATPase, alpha((W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma and alpha((K175A/T176A/W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma. For alpha((W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma, apparent K(m)'s of ATPase kinetics (4.0 and 233 microM) did not agree with apparent K(m)'s deduced from fluorescence quenching of the introduced tryptophan residue (on the order of nM, 0.016 and 13 microM). On the other hand, in case of alpha((K175A/T176A/W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma, which lacks noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites, the apparent K(m) of ATPase activity (10 microM) roughly agreed with the highest K(m) of fluorescence measurements (27 microM). The results indicate that in case of alpha((W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma, the activating effect of ATP binding to noncatalytic sites dominates overall ATPase kinetics and the highest apparent K(m) of ATPase activity does not represent the ATP binding to a catalytic site. In case of alpha((K175A/T176A/W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma, the K(m) of ATPase activity reflects the ATP binding to a catalytic site due to the lack of noncatalytic sites. The Eadie-Hofstee plot of ATPase reaction by alpha((K175A/T176A/W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma was rather linear compared with that of alpha((W463F)3)beta((Y341W)3)gamma, if not perfectly straight, indicating that the apparent negative cooperativity observed for wild-type F(1)-ATPase is due to the ATP binding to catalytic sites and noncatalytic sites. Thus, the frequently observed K(m)'s of 100-300 microM and 1-30 microM range for wild-type F(1)-ATPase correspond to ATP binding to a noncatalytic site and catalytic site, respectively.

Abstract
The V0V1-ATPase of Thermus thermophilus catalyzes ATP synthesis coupled with proton translocation. It consists of an ATPase-active V1 part (ABDF) and a proton channel V0 part (CLEGI), but the arrangement of each subunit is still largely unknown. Here we found that acid treatment of V0V1-ATPase induced its dissociation into two subcomplexes, one with subunit composition ABDFCL and the other with EGI. Exposure of the isolated V0 to acid or 8 m urea also produced two subcomplexes, EGI and CL. Thus, the C subunit (homologue of d subunit, yeast Vma6p) associates with the L subunit ring tightly, and I (homologue of 100-kDa subunit, yeast Vph1p), E, and G subunits constitute a stable complex. Based on these observations and our recent demonstration that D, F, and L subunits rotate relative to A3B3 (Imamura, H., Nakano, M., Noji, H., Muneyuki, E., Ohkuma, S., Yoshida, M., and Yokoyama, K. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 100, 2312-2315; Yokoyama, K., Nakano, M., Imamura, H., Yoshida, M., and Tamakoshi, M. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 24255-24258), we propose that C, D, F, and L subunits constitute the central rotor shaft and A, B, E, G, and I subunits comprise the surrounding stator apparatus in the V0V1-ATPase.

Abstract
V0V1-ATPase is a proton-translocating ATPase responsible for acidification of eukaryotic intracellular compartments and for ATP synthesis in archaea and some eubacteria. We demonstrated recently the rotation of the central stalk subunits in V1, a catalytic sector of V0V1-ATPase (Imamura, H., Nakano, M., Noji, H., Muneyuki, E., Ohkuma, S., Yoshida, M., and Yokoyama, K. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 100, 2312-2315), but the rotation of the proteolipid ring, a predicted counterpart rotor in the membrane V0 sector, has remained to be proven. V0V1-ATPase that retained sensitivity to N',N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was isolated from Thermus thermophilus, immobilized onto a glass surface through the N termini of the A subunits of V1, and decorated with a bead attached to a proteolipid subunit of V0. Rotation of beads was observed in the presence of ATP, and direction of rotation was always counterclockwise viewed from the membrane side. The rotation proceeded at approximately 3.0 rev/s in average at 4 mm ATP and was abolished by N',N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide treatment. Thus, the rotation of the central stalk in V1 accompanies rotation of a proteolipid ring of V0 in the functioning V0V1-ATPase.

Abstract
V(o)V(1)-ATPase is responsible for acidification of eukaryotic intracellular compartments and ATP synthesis of Archaea and some eubacteria. From the similarity to F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase, V(o)V(1)-ATPase has been assumed to be a rotary motor, but to date there are no experimental data to support this. Here we visualized the rotation of single molecules of V(1)-ATPase, a catalytic subcomplex of V(o)V(1)-ATPase. V(1)-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus was immobilized onto a glass surface, and a bead was attached to the D or F subunit through the biotin-streptavidin linkage. In both cases we observed ATP-dependent rotations of beads, the direction of which was always counterclockwise viewed from the membrane side. Given that three ATP molecules are hydrolyzed per one revolution, rates of rotation agree consistently with rates of ATP hydrolysis at saturating ATP concentrations. This study provides experimental evidence that V(o)V(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor and that both D and F subunits constitute a rotor shaft.

Abstract
Crystals have been grown of the V(1)-ATPase sector of the V-type ATP synthase complex (V(0)V(1)) from the thermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8. These crystals are grown by the vapor diffusion method in the presence of 5 mM Mg-ADP, from solutions containing 100 mM sodium acetate and 2 M sodium formate, pH 5.5. The crystals diffracted X rays beyond 3.4 A in resolution on a synchrotron radiation source. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3, with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 89.0 A, c = 179.2 A, and gamma = 120 degrees. The unit cell presumably contains one molecule of V(1)-ATPase and the V(m) value is calculated as 3.0 A(3)/Da.
