F-1-ATPase (F-1) is a reversible ATP-driven rotary motor protein. When its rotary shaft is reversely rotated, F-1 produces ATP against the chemical potential of ATP hydrolysis, suggesting that F-1 modulates the rate constants and equilibriums of catalytic reaction steps depending on the rotary angle of the shaft. Although the chemomechanical coupling scheme of F-1 has been determined, it is unclear how individual catalytic reaction steps depend on its rotary angle. Here, we report direct evidence that the ATP-binding rate of F-1 increases upon the forward rotation of the rotor, and its binding affinity to ATP is enhanced by rotation.
