SUMMARY Ion-translocating ATPases, such as the F1Fo-, V1Vo- and archaeal A1Ao enzymes, are essential cellular energy converters which transduce the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into transmembrane ionic electrochemical potential differences. Based on subunit composition and primary structures of the subunits, these types of ATPases are related through evolution; however, they differ with respect to function. Recent work has focused on the three-dimensional structural relationships of the major, nucleotide-binding subunits A and B of the A1/V1-ATPases and the corresponding β and α subunits of the F1-ATPase, and the location of the coupling subunits within the stalk that provide the physical linkage between the regions of ATP hydrolysis and ion transduction. This review focuses on the structural homologies and diversities of A1-, F1- and V1-ATPases, in particular on significant differences between the stalk regions of these families of enzymes.

The alpha-subunits of factor-F1 ATPase are removed by extraction of submitochondrial particles with 1.75 M-LiCl, with the consequent loss of ATPase activity. ATPase activity is reconstituted by incubation of LiCl-extracted particles with purified alpha-subunits, and the reconstituted ATPase activity is oligomycin-sensitive. Reconstitution is enhanced by maintenance of the alpha-subunits in reduced form by dithiothreitol or NaBH4 and by modification of the alpha-subunits by p-chloromercuribenzoate, iodoacetic acid or N-ethylmaleimide. Experiments with the mixed anhydride of ATP and mesitylene-carboxylic acid, which was previously shown to interact with the F1 active site, localized on the beta-subunits, indicate that the active site of ATPase is shielded by the alpha-subunits.
