Deskripsi
Mitochondrial ATP synthases are involved in shaping the mitochondrial cristae. The cryo-EM structure of type III ATP synthase reveals the architecture of the unusual, asymmetrical, U-shaped dimer and offers insights into the interaction with the natural inhibitor IF1 and membrane lipids. The structure of the enzyme tetramer suggests the mechanism of membrane curvature generation.
