| Research Abstract |
F1-ATPase(F_1) is an ATP-driven molecular rotary motor. The "axle-less F_1" that the rotor portion in the stator cylinder is truncated, can rotate in the correct direction. Motivated by this finding, we tried to determine the indispensable rotor region(s) for the F_1 rotation. The contrast mutant with the axle-less F_1, that has only the rotor portion in the stator cylinder, unexpectedly, rotated at>100 rotations/s. The rotor of F_1 may have no essential region (amino-acid sequence) to rotate itself.
