ATP synthase subunit alpha (atpA) is a critical component of the ATP synthase complex, which catalyzes ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation. In A. succinogenes, this enzyme plays a role in energy metabolism during anaerobic fermentation, particularly in pathways linked to succinic acid (SA) biosynthesis .
While no direct studies on recombinant A. succinogenes AtpA were found, genetic engineering in this organism is well-documented. For example:
Plasmid Systems: A. succinogenes has been engineered using shuttle vectors (e.g., pLGZ901/pLGZ920) for gene overexpression or knockout .
Metabolic Flux Analysis: Genome-scale models (e.g., iBP722) predict ATP synthase’s role in redirecting carbon flux toward SA production under anaerobic conditions .
Sequence Data: The atpA gene in A. succinogenes has not been explicitly annotated in the provided sources.
Functional Studies: No experimental data on recombinant AtpA purification, kinetics, or structural analysis were identified.
A recombinant ATP synthase subunit alpha from Xanthomonas oryzae (UniProt: Q5H4Y6) was documented , highlighting methodological frameworks that could be adapted for A. succinogenes:
