Based on subunit composition and primary structures of the subunits, these types of ATPases are related through evolution; however, they differ with respect to function. Recent work has focused on the three-dimensional structural relationships of the major, nucleotide-binding subunits A and B of the A(1)/V-1-ATPases and the corresponding beta and alpha subunits of the F-1-ATPase, and the location of the coupling subunits within the stalk that provide the physical linkage between the regions of ATP hydrolysis and ion transduction. This review focuses on the structural homologies and diversities of A(1)-, F-1- and V-1-ATPases, in particular on significant differences between the stalk regions of these families of enzymes. |
