Abstract	The a subunit, a membrane protein from the E. coli F1F0 ATP synthase has been examined by Fourier analysis of hydrophobicity and of amino-acid residue variation. The amino-acid sequences of homologous subunits from Vibrio alginolyticus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Neurospora crassa, Aspergillus nidulans, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Candida parapsilosis were used in the variability analysis. By Fourier analysis of sequence variation, two transmembrane helices are predicted to have one face in contact with membrane lipids, while the other spans are predicted to be more shielded from the lipids by protein. By Fourier analysis of hydrophobicity, six amphipathic alpha-helical segments are predicted in extra-membrane regions, including the region from Glu-196 to Asn-214. Fourier analysis of sequence variation in the b- and the c-subunits of the Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase indicates that the single transmembrane span of the b-subunit and the C-terminal span of the c subunit each have a face in contact with membrane lipids. On the basis of this analysis topographical models for the a- and c-subunits and for the F0 complex are proposed.
