Description | ATP synthase (proton-translocating ATPase) [ , ] is a componentof the cytoplasmic membrane of eubacteria, the inner membrane of mitochondria, and the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. The ATPase complex is composed ofan oligomeric transmembrane sector, called CF(0), which acts as a proton channel, and a catalytic core, termed coupling factor CF(1).One of the subunits of the ATPase complex, known as subunit delta in bacteria and chloroplasts, or the Oligomycin Sensitivity Conferral Protein (OSCP) inmitochondria, seems to be part of the stalk that links CF(0) to CF(1). It either transmits conformational changes from CF(0) into CF(1) or is involvedin proton conduction [ ].The different delta/OSCP subunits are proteins of approximately 200 amino-acid residues - once the transit peptide has been removed in the chloroplast andmitochondrial forms - which show only moderate sequence homology.This entry represents a conserved site in the C-terminal section of these proteins. |
