概要 The prokaryotic V-type ATPase/synthases (prokaryotic V-ATPases) have simpler subunit compositions than eukaryotic V-ATPases, and thus are useful subjects for studying chemical, physical and structural properties of V-ATPase. In this review, we focus on the results of recent studies on the structure/function relationships in the V-ATPase from the eubacterium Thermus thermophilus. First, we describe single-molecule analyses of T.thermophilus V-ATPase. Using the single-molecule technique, it was established that the V-ATPase is a rotary motor. Second, we discuss arrangement of subunits in V-ATPase. Third, the crystal structure of the C-subunit (homolog of eukaryotic d-subunit) is described. This funnel-shape Subunit appears to cap the proteolipid ring in the V-0 domain in order to accommodate the V-1 central stalk. This structure seems essential for the regulatory reversible association/dissociation of the V-1 and the V-0 domains. Last, we discuss classification of the V-ATPase family. We propose that the term prokaryotic V-ATPases should be used rather than the term archaeal-type ATPase (A-ATPase).
