In mitochondria, the hydrolytic activity of ATP synthase is regulated by a natural inhibitor protein, IF(1). The binding of IF(1) to ATP synthase depends on pH values, and below neutrality, IF(1) forms a stable complex with the enzyme. Bovine IF(1) has two oligomeric states, dimer and tetramer, depending on pH values. At pH 6.5, where it is active, IF(1) dimerizes by formation of an antiparallel alpha-helical coiled-coil in its C-terminal region. This arrangement places the inhibitory N-terminal regions in opposition, implying that active dimeric IF(1) can bind two F(1) domains simultaneously. Evidence of dimerization of F(1)-ATPase by binding to IF(1) is provided by gel filtration chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation, and electron microscopy. At present, it is not known whether IF(1) can bring about the dimerization of the F(1)F(0)-ATPase complex.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
