The amino acid sequence of the CF0I subunit from the chloroplast F0F1-ATPase has only a low similarity to the amino acid sequence of the b-subunit of the E. coli F0F1-ATPase. However, secondary and tertiary structure predictions plus the distribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids have indicated that these two subunits serve a similar function. This proposition was investigated directly. A cDNA clone for the chloroplast atpF gene, encoding the CF0I subunit, was altered by site-directed mutagensis such that the translation start site corresponded to the N-terminus of the mature protein. An E. coli mutant strain carrying a chain-terminating mutation in the uncF gene, encoding the b-subunit, was transformed with the plasmid carrying the altered atpF gene. The resultant transformant was able to grow on succinate and gave a growth yield similar to that of a wild-type control. Assays on membrane preparations from the transformant also clearly indicated that the mature CF0I subunit from spinach chloroplasts was able to replace the E. coli b-subunit in the E. coli F0F1-ATPase.

D002736 Chloroplasts Plant cell inclusion bodies that contain the photosynthetic pigment CHLOROPHYLL, which is associated with the membrane of THYLAKOIDS. Chloroplasts occur in cells of leaves and young stems of plants. They are also found in some forms of PHYTOPLANKTON such as HAPTOPHYTA; DINOFLAGELLATES; DIATOMS; and CRYPTOPHYTA. Chloroplast,Etioplasts,Etioplast
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
