The unique C-terminal extension of mycobacterial F-ATP synthase subunit α is the major contributor to its latent ATP hydrolysis activity

Mycobacterial F1Fo-ATP synthases (α3:β3:γ:δ:ε:a:b:b':c9 ) are incapable of ATP-driven proton translocation due to their latent ATPase activity. This prevents wasting of ATP and altering of the proton motive force, whose dissipation is lethal to mycobacteria. We demonstrate that the mycobacteria...
