Background:The mitochondrial ATP synthase adopts oligomeric structures. Results: Cross-linking between two subunits 6 (a) indicates their proximity in the ATP synthase dimer. Conclusion: Subunit 6 participates in the ATP synthase monomer-monomer interface. Significance: Learning how the ATP synthases assemble is essential for understanding their involvement in the control of the biogenesis of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
