概要 Vacuolar type rotary H+-ATPases (VoV1) couple ATP synthesis/hydrolysis by V-1 with proton translocation by V-o via rotation of a central rotor apparatus composed of the V-1-DF rotor shaft, a socket-like V-o-C (eukaryotic V-o-d) and the hydrophobic rotor ring. Reconstitution experiments using subcomplexes revealed a weak binding affinity of V-1-DF to V-o-C despite the fact that torque needs to be transmitted between V-1-DF and V-o-C for the tight energy coupling between V-1 and V-o. Mutation of a short helix at the tip of V-1-DF caused intramolecular uncoupling of VoV1, suggesting that proper fitting of the short helix of V-1-D into the socket of V-o-C is required for tight energy coupling between V-1 and V-o. To account for the apparently contradictory properties of the interaction between V-1-DF and V-o-C (weak binding affinity but strict requirement for torque transmission), we propose a model in which the relationship between V-1-DF and V-o-C corresponds to that between a slotted screwdriver and a head of slotted screw. This model is consistent with our previous result in which the central rotor apparatus is not the major factor for the association of V-1 with V-o (Kishikawa and Yokoyama, J Biol Chem. 2012 24597-24603).
