Highly divergent mitochondrial ATP synthase complexes in Tetrahymena thermophila.

Highly divergent mitochondrial ATP synthase complexes in Tetrahymena thermophila.

The F-type ATP synthase complex is a rotary nano-motor driven by proton motive force to synthesize ATP. Its F(1) sector catalyzes ATP synthesis, whereas the F(o) sector conducts the protons and provides a stator for the rotary action of the complex. Components of both F(1) and F(o) sectors are highl...
