The Relationship Between the Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of the Chloroplast ATP Synthase

  • Chapter
Oxygenic Photosynthesis: The Light Reactions

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 4))

Summary

An overview of the nucleotide binding properties and current models of the catalytic mechanism of the chloroplast ATP synthase is presented. The discussion includes consideration of the role of the small subunits of the catalytic chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) in gating the flow of protons across the membrane. Some emphasis is placed on the potential role of the ε subunit in a proton-driven activation process and an apparent role of this subunit in influencing cooperativity among the different nucleotide binding sites on both membrane-bound and isolated CF1 Controversy over the type of nucleotide binding sites on CF1 is discussed, together with the potential involvement of the different nucleotide binding sites in the catalytic process.
