F0 and F1
How many subunits in F1
5
How many subunits in F0
3
___ is similar in size to the F1 region
Complex I
Is F0F1 ATPase the only type of ATPase
No
Other types of F0F1 ATPase
E1E2 ATPase and V ATPase
Type of E1E2 ATPase
Na+/K+ pump
Type of V ATPase
Vacuole H+ pump
Function of Na+/K+ pump
Work under ATP hydrolysis (break it and harness the energy to perform useful work)
Function of V ATPase
Pump protons
Where is V ATPase located
Vacuole
ATPases are energy-dependent ____
Ion pumps
ATPases have reversible function depending on ___
The environment
Similar features that all ATPases share
- Ability to reverse
- Series of shared structures
Shared structures that ATPases have
F1 analog and F0 analog
The overall function of ATPase is to throw the equilibrium between ___ and ___ out of balance
ATP and ADP
Proportion of products versus reactants
Mass action ratio
Use ___ to maintain mass action ratio away from equilibrium
Delta P
ATPase sustains ____
Mass action ratio
ATPase sustains the mass action ratio __-__ orders of magnitude away from equilibrium
7-10
What does sustaining the mass action ratio lead to
Thermodynamic favoring reaction
What do thermodynamic favoring reactions produce
ATP
What was studied to examine ATPase
Submitochondrial particles (SMPs)
What are SMPs
Reconstituted membrane regions of the mitochondria that allow researchers to evaluate the functions of proteins
Most SMP have ___ structure
Inverted membrane structure
Inverted membrane structure
Matrix facing outside and inner portion represents cytoplasmic side
What is the benefit of inverted membrane structure
Further manipulation of proteins
In the inverted membrane structure, F1 faces the ___
Matrix
Where is ATP generated and hydrolyzed
Matrix
What did early studies treat SMP with
Urea and kealating agents
What is the effect of urea treatment on SMP
Some F1 regions knobs were lost
What happens when F1 knobs are lost
SMPs cannot synthesize ATP without them
How did F1 get its name
First fraction (F1). Called the first fraction because it was the first lost
Can protons still be channeled through the membrane when F1 is lost
Yes
