Vacuole-type ATPases (V(o)V₁) and F(o)F₁ ATP synthases couple ATP hydrolysis/synthesis in the soluble V(1) or F₁ portion with proton (or Na(+)) flow in the membrane-embedded V(o) or F(o) portion through rotation of one common shaft. Here we show at submillisecond resolutions the ATP-driven rotation of isolated V₁ and the whole V(o)V₁ from Thermus thermophilus, by attaching a 40-nm gold bead for which viscous drag is almost negligible. V₁ made 120° steps, commensurate with the presence of three catalytic sites. Dwells between the steps involved at least two events other than ATP binding, one likely to be ATP hydrolysis. V(o)V₁ exhibited 12 dwell positions per revolution, consistent with the 12-fold symmetry of the V(o) rotor in T. thermophilus. Unlike F₁ that undergoes 80°-40° substepping, chemo-mechanical checkpoints in isolated V₁ are all at the ATP-waiting position, and V(o) adds further bumps through stator-rotor interactions outside and remote from V₁.

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
