Outline of Final Research Achievements |
F1-ATPase is a rotary molecular motor utilizing ATP as an energy source. In this study, we aimed to reveal the mechanisms of conformational change of the beta-subunit. On the basis of comparison of the beta-subunit with the alpha-subunit that does not change its conformation upon ATP binding, we hypothesized that the sequence difference in the xxxx region of P-loop (GxxxxGKT/S), a phosphate-binding motif, may play an important role for the conformational change. We investigated the impact of the sequence in the xxxx region on the conformational change by mutating the sequence from beta to alpha, performing molecular dynamics simulations, single-molecule experiments, etc. These results illuminate how the beta-subunit encodes its conformational change in the P-loop.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
F1-ATPaseはほぼ全ての生物が有し、生命のエネルギー源であるATPを合成する酵素である。F1の構造変化の仕組みを理解することは、生命の制御・設計という観点において、F1の構造変化、すなわちATP合成を制御する技術を構築する上で重要となる。また、F1-ATPaseの構造変化の仕組みを理解することで、蛋白質の構造変化原理の普遍的な理解と、さらには構造変化するタンパク質のデザイン原理の解明につながる。
