Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of the Mycobacterium smegmatis F-ATPase and the FF-ATP synthase with different nucleotide occupation within the catalytic sites and visualize critical elements for latent ATP hydrolysis and efficient ATP synthesis. Mutational studies reveal that the extended C-terminal domain (αCTD) of subunit α is the main element for the self-inhibition mechanism of ATP hydrolysis for TB and NTM bacteria. Rotational studies indicate that the transition between the inhibition state by the αCTD and the active state is a rapid process. We demonstrate that the unique mycobacterial γ-loop and subunit δ are critical elements required for ATP formation. The data underline that these mycobacterium-specific elements of α, γ, and δ are attractive targets, providing a platform for the discovery of species-specific inhibitors. |
