Structure of the c10 Ring of the Yeast Mitochondrial ATP Synthase in the Open Conformation
The proton pores of F1Fo-ATP synthases consist of a ring of c-subunits, which rotates driven by downhill proton diffusion. An essential carboxylate side chain in the c-subunit provides a proton-binding site. In all the structures of c-rings reported to date, these sites are in a closed, ion-locked s...
