V(1), a water-soluble portion of vacuole-type ATPase (V-ATPase), is an ATP-driven rotary motor, similar to F(1)-ATPase. Hydrolysis of ATP is coupled to unidirectional rotation of the central rotor D and F subunits relative to the A(3)B(3) cylinder. In this study, we analyzed the rotation kinetics of V(1) in detail. At low ATP concentrations, the D subunit rotated stepwise, pausing every 120 degrees . The dwell time between steps revealed that V(1) consumes one ATP per 120 degrees step. V(1) gene ...[more]
