Abstract
The Na+-translocating F1F0-ATPase of Acetobacterium woodii was examine d by electron microscopy. After reconstitution into proteoliposomes, k nobs typical for the F-1 domain were visible on the outside of the mem brane. The F-1-part of the isolated enzyme showed a hexagonal symmetry suggesting an alpha(3) beta(3) structure, and the F1F0 complex had mo lecular dimensions very similar to those of H+-translocating ATPases o f E. coli, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.
