Class 3: Ox Phos 2 Flashcards
Chemiosmotic hypothesis
Atp synthesis coupled to proton gradient
Generates pH gradient and membrane potential.
Proof of ATP synthase
Bacteriorhodopsin in synaptic vesicle
The stick and proton channel for ATP synthase
Embedded in the membrane
F0
The ball and catalytic domain of ATP synthase:
F1
Complex V
ATP synthase
Made of 5 types of polypeptide chains w/ different stochiometries:
Alpha3, Beta3, gamma, delta, and epsilon
F1
Alpha ad beta are arranged in
Hexameric ring
Only polypeptide in F1 that is catalytically active
Beta
Stalk of F1 is made up of:
Gamma and epsilon proteins
Long helical coil that extends into the center of the alpha3 and beta 3 hexamer
Gamma subunit
A proton channel made of 8-14 c subunits embedded in membrane
F0
F0 and F1 connected in 2 ways:
- Central gamma and epsilon stalk
2. Exterior column- 1 a su, 2 b su, and delta su
Allows the proton gradient to be in close proximity to the ATP synthase
Cristae
molecules asso. W/ each other to form dimers then oligomers
ATP synthase
What is the role of the proton gradient in Ox phos
Release the ATP from the synthase
