Rotary ATPases are a family of enzymes that are thought of as molecular nanomotors and
are classified in three types: F, A, and V-type ATPases. Two members (F and A-type) can …

The algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Polytomella sp., a green and a colorless
member of the chlorophycean lineage respectively, exhibit a highly-stable dimeric …

Mitochondrial ATP synthase is a reversible nanomotor synthesizing or hydrolyzing ATP
depending on the potential across the membrane in which it is embedded. In the unicellular …

In the infectious stage of Trypanosoma brucei, an important parasite of humans and
livestock, the mitochondrial (mt) membrane potential (Δψm) is uniquely maintained by the …

The F-ATPase in bovine mitochondria is a membrane-bound complex of about 30 subunits
of 18 different kinds. Currently,∼ 85% of its structure is known. The enzyme has a …

Mitochondrial respiratory-chain complexes from Euglenozoa comprise classical subunits
described in other eukaryotes (ie mammals and fungi) and subunits that are restricted to …

The proposal that the respiratory complexes can associate with each other in larger
structures named supercomplexes (SC) is generally accepted. In the last decades most of …

Abstract Mitochondrial F 1 F O-ATP synthase of chlorophycean algae is dimeric. It contains
eight orthodox subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, OSCP, a and c) and nine …

Chlamydomonas is a recognized, widely used model photosynthetic organism. The survival
of Chlamydomonas respiratory-deficient mutants under phototrophic conditions has enabled …

Mitochondrion is the site where the Krebs cycle and ox idative phos phorylation (OXPHOS)
take place. After a brief overview of Krebs cycle and acetate metabolism in Chlamydomonas …
