Description

Functional Insights from Recombinant ATP9

  • Assembly-Dependent Translation: Mutations in ATP9 disrupt ATP synthase assembly, triggering feedback loops to regulate translation rates of mtDNA-encoded subunits (e.g., ATP6, ATP8) .

  • Viability Studies: Deletion of ATP9 in K. lactis (via mtDNA rearrangement) is non-lethal, suggesting functional redundancy or compensation by nuclear genes .

  • Nuclear Relocation: Successful transfer of ATP9 to the nucleus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrated feasibility but revealed challenges in proper targeting and assembly .

Role in Proton Translocation and ATP Synthesis

ATP9’s decameric ring in F₀ facilitates proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Rotation of this ring induces conformational changes in the F₁ domain, enabling ATP synthesis .

Genetic Regulation and Stoichiometry

  • Dual Genetic Origin: ATP9 (mtDNA) and ATP6 (mtDNA) are synthesized in mitochondria, while most ATP synthase subunits are nuclear-encoded. Feedback mechanisms ensure balanced production .

  • Feedback Loops: Assembly intermediates interact with ATP9 and ATP6 to regulate translation, preventing excess subunits that could dissipate membrane potential .

Experimental Models and Mutant Studies

  • Δatp9 Strains: Loss of ATP9 disrupts ATP synthase assembly and growth on non-fermentable substrates (e.g., glycerol). Suppression via mutations in F₁-ATPase (e.g., atp2.1) restores viability by altering ATP hydrolysis rates .

  • mtDNA Heteroplasmy: In Candida glabrata, mtDNA loss (e.g., Δatp6) is mitigated by nuclear ATP6 homologs, highlighting genetic plasticity in ATP synthase subunits .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Please note: We prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. However, if you have specific format requirements, kindly include them in your order remarks, and we will accommodate your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary depending on the purchase method or location. We recommend contacting your local distributors for specific delivery information.
All of our proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs by default. If you require dry ice shipping, please contact us in advance as additional fees will apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. For optimal results, store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend briefly centrifuging the vial prior to opening to ensure the contents settle at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers can use this as a reference.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is influenced by various factors, including storage conditions, buffer ingredients, temperature, and the intrinsic stability of the protein.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. For lyophilized form, the shelf life is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is necessary for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function
Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) generates ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane, which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains: F(1), containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0), containing the membrane proton channel, linked by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Part of the complex F(0) domain. A homomeric c-ring of probably 10 subunits is part of the complex rotary element.
