Subunitbis indispensable for the formation of a functional H + -translocating FOcomplex both in vivo andin vitro. Whereas the very C-terminus of subunitbinteracts with F1 and plays a crucial role in enzyme assembly, the C-terminal region is also considered to be necessary for proper recon-stitution of FOinto liposomes. Here, we show that a syn-thetic peptide, residues 1–34 of subunitb(b1)34 ) [Dmitriev, O., Jones, ., Jiang,W. & Fillingame, . (1999)J.

Chem. 274 15598-15604 corresponding to the membrane domain of subunit b was sufficient in forming an active FO complex when coreconstituted with purified ac subcomplex. H translocation was shown to be sensitive to the specific inhibitor N N -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and the resulting FO complexes were deficient in binding of isolated F1. This demonstrates that only the membrane part of subunit b is sufficient as well as necessary for H translocation across the membrane whereas the binding of F1 to FO is mainly triggered by C-terminal residues beyond Glu34 in subunit b. Comparison of the data with former reconstitution experiments additionally indicated that parts of the hydrophilic portion of the subunit b dimer are not involved in the process of ion translocation itself but might organize subunits a and c in FO assembly. Furthermore the data obtained functionally support the monomeric NMR structure of the synthetic b . Keywords F1FO ATP synthase subunit b reconstitution proton translocation Escherichia coli.
