n-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside was used as a detergent to solubilize the ammonium sulphate precipitate of chloroplast FOF1-ATP synthase, which was purified further by dye-ligand chromatography. Upon reconstitution of the purified protein complex into phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidic acid liposomes, ATP synthesis, driven by an artificial ∆pH/∆ψ, was observed. The highest activity was achieved with ATP synthase solubilized in n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside followed by chromatography with Red 120 dye. The optimal dye for purification with CHAPS was Green 5. All known subunits were present in the monodisperse proton-translocating ATP synthase preparation obtained from chloroplasts.

AbstractSeveral ‘super-complexes’ of individual hetero-oligomeric membrane protein complexes, whose function is to facilitate intra-membrane electron and proton transfer and harvesting of light energy, have been previously characterized in the mitochondrial cristae and chloroplast thylakoid membranes. The latter membrane is reported here to also be the location of an intra-membrane super-complex which is dominated by the ATP-synthase and photosystem I (PSI) reaction-center complexes, defined by mass spectrometry, clear-native PAGE and Western Blot analyses. This is the first documented presence of ATP synthase in a super-complex with the PSI reaction-center located in the non-appressed stromal domain of the thylakoid membrane.
