Abstract
The H+-ATP synthase of the chloroplast thylakoid membranes is essential for electron transport and photophosphorylation during photosynthesis. It has an F1F0 structure analogous to the proton-translocating ATP synthases of bacteria and mitochondria, that is, a proton pore sector (CF0) within the thylakoid membrane and an ATPase moiety (CF1) protruding into the stroma. In this paper, we examine the composition and predicted structure of the CF0 as deduced from three genes for CF0 subunits and from data for the equivalent proteins from E.coli and mitochondria.
