概要 VoV1-ATPase is responsible for acidification of eukaryotic intracellular compartments and ATP synthesis of Archaea and some eubacteria. From the similarity to FoF1-ATP synthase, VoV1-ATPase has been assumed to be a rotary motor, but to date there are no experimental data to support this. Here we visualized the rotation of single molecules of V-1-ATPase, a catalytic subcomplex of VoV1-ATPase. V-1-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus was immobilized onto a glass surface, and a bead was attached to the D or IF subunit through the biotin-streptavidin linkage. In both cases we observed ATP-dependent rotations of beads, the direction of which was always counterclockwise viewed from the membrane side. Given that three ATP molecules are hydrolyzed per one revolution, rates of rotation agree consistently with rates of ATP hydrolysis at saturating ATP concentrations. This study provides experimental evidence that VoV1-ATPase is a rotary motor and that both D and F subunits constitute a rotor shaft.
