ATPases of Escherichia

subunit of the Escherichia coli F
F
ATPase was divided into three sections,
each of which was exchanged with the homologous section of the
subunit of the obligate aerobe Bacillus megaterium. Plasmids
coding for the resultant six chimeric
subunits varied in their
abilities to complement two E. coli
mutants as measured
by testing transformed cells for aerobic growth on a nonfermentable
carbon source or anaerobic growth on rich medium containing glucose.
Two chimeras were able to restore both growth on succinate and
anaerobic growth on rich medium. The genetic results corresponded to
increased levels of membrane-bound ATPase and ATP synthase activities.
These chimeric subunits were therefore capable of being assembled into
functional E. coli ATPase complexes. The results indicate that
chimeric
subunits can be used to analyze assembly of the
subunit and that the final 181 amino acids of the
subunit might
contain a region involved in functional energy coupling.
