| Abstract |
We report evidence for proton-driven subunit rotation in membrane-bound FoF1-ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation. A betaD380C/gammaC87 crosslinked hybrid F1 having epitope-tagged betaD380C subunits (betaflag) exclusively in the two noncrosslinked positions was bound to Fo in F1-depleted membranes. After reduction of the beta-gamma crosslink, a brief exposure to conditions for ATP synthesis followed by reoxidation resulted in a significant amount of betaflag appearing in the beta-gamma crosslinked product. Such a reorientation of gammaC87 relative to the three beta subunits can only occur through subunit rotation. Rotation was inhibited when proton transport through Fo was blocked or when ADP and Pi were omitted. These results establish FoF1 as the second example in nature where proton transport is coupled to subunit rotation. |
