ATPase Dimers

ATPase Dimers

Mitochondrial ATPases are able to form V-shaped dimers inducing a strong membrane curvature, ultimately leading to the formation of mitochondrial cristae. A recent publication from Hahn an collaegues closely analyzed the interacting subunits in the yeast Yarrowia...

Crystal structure of a V-Type ATPase

Molecular structures This crystal structure of the soluble subcomplex of a V-type ATPase from yeast has been published recently. It is composed of 15 subunits. Subunit H (green color) is important for regulation and undergoes marked conformational changes. Source: Oot...
