Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025 Title: Engineering of ATP synthase for enhancement of proton-to-ATP ratio. Authors: Hiroshi Ueno / Kiyoto Yasuda / Norie Hamaguchi-Suzuki / Riku Marui / Naruhiko Adachi / Toshiya Senda / Takeshi Murata / Hiroyuki Noji / Abstract: FF-ATP synthase (FF) interconverts the energy of the proton motive force (pmf) and that of ATP through the mechanical rotation. The H/ATP ratio, one of the most crucial parameters in bioenergetics, ...FF-ATP synthase (FF) interconverts the energy of the proton motive force (pmf) and that of ATP through the mechanical rotation. The H/ATP ratio, one of the most crucial parameters in bioenergetics, varies among species due to differences in the number of H-binding c-subunits, resulting in H/ATP ratios ranging from 2.7 to 5. In this study, we seek to significantly enhance the H/ATP ratio by employing an alternative approach that differs from that of nature. We engineer FF to form multiple peripheral stalks, each bound to a proton-conducting a-subunit. The engineered FF exhibits an H/ATP ratio of 5.8, surpassing the highest ratios found in naturally occurring FFs, enabling ATP synthesis under low pmf conditions where wild-type enzymes cannot synthesize ATP. Structural analysis reveals that the engineered FF forms up to three peripheral stalks and a-subunits. This study not only provides valuable insights into the H-transport mechanism of FF but also opens up possibilities for engineering the foundation of cellular bioenergetics.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
