Six states of Enterococcus hirae V-type ATPase reveals non-uniform rotor rotation during turnover.

ABSTRACT: The vacuolar-type ATPase from Enterococcus hirae (EhV-ATPase) is a thus-far unique adaptation of V-ATPases, as it performs Na⁺ transport and demonstrates an off-axis rotor assembly. Recent single molecule studies of the isolated V₁ domain have indicated that there are subpauses within the three major states of the pseudo three-fold symmetric rotary enzyme. However, there was no structural evidence for these. Herein we activate the EhV-ATPase complex with ATP and identified multiple structures consisting of a total of six states of this complex by using cryo-electron microscopy. The orientations of the rotor complex during turnover, especially in the intermediates, are not as perfectly uniform as expected. The densities in the nucleotide binding pockets in the V_1<
