The radii of gyration (R-g) of the complexes were 6.2 /- 0.1 and 4.7 /- 0.02 nm, respectively. The shape of the M. sexta V-1 ATPase was determined ab initio from the scattering data showing six masses, presumed to be the A and B subunits, arranged in an alternating manner about a 3-fold axis. A seventh mass with a length of about 11.0 nm extends perpendicularly to the center of the hexameric unit. This central mass is presumed to be the stalk that connects V-1 with the membrane domain (V-o) in the intact V1Vo-ATPase. In comparison, the shape of the F-1 ATPase from E. coli possesses a quasi-3-fold symmetry over the major part of the enzyme. The overall asymmetry of the structure is given by a stem, assumed to include the central stalk subunits. The features of the V-1 and F-1 ATPase reveal structural homologies and diversities of the key components of the complexes. |
