The Na+translocating F1FO ATP synthase from Acetobacterium woodii shows a subunit stoichiometry of α3:β3:γ:δ:ε:a:b2:(c2/3)9:c1 and reveals an evolutionary path between synthases and pumps involving adaptations in the rotor c‐ring, which is composed of F‐ and vacuolar‐type c subunits in a stoichiomet...
