概要 Abstract

V/A-ATPase is a rotary ATPase that shares a common rotary catalytic mechanism with FoF1 ATP synthase. Structural images of V/A-ATPase obtained by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) during ATP hydrolysis identified several intermediates, revealing the rotary mechanism under steady-state conditions. Here, we identified the cryo-EM structures of V/A-ATPase corresponding to short-lived initial intermediates during the activation of the ground state structure by time-resolving snapshot analysis. These intermediate structures provide insights into how the ground-state structure changes to the active, steady state through the sequential binding of ATP to its three catalytic sites. All the intermediate structures of V/A-ATPase adopt the same asymmetric structure, whereas the three catalytic dimers adopt different conformations. This is significantly different from the initial activation process of FoF1, where the overall structure of the F1 domain changes during the transition from a pseudo-symmetric to a canonical asymmetric structure. Our findings will enhance the future prospects for the initial activation processes of the enzymes with dynamical information, which contains unknown intermediate structures in their functional pathway.
