The position of the a subunit of the membrane-integral F-0 sector of Escherichia coli ATP synthase was investigated by single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies utilizing a fusion of enhanced green fluorescent protein to the C terminus of the a subunit and fluorescent labels attached to specific positions of the epsilon or gamma subunits. Three fluorescence resonance energy transfer levels were observed during rotation driven by ATP hydrolysis corresponding to the three resting positions of the rotor subunits, gamma or epsilon, relative to the a subunit of the stator. Comparison of these positions of the rotor sites with those previously determined relative to the b subunit dimer indicates the position of a as adjacent to the b dimer on its counterclockwise side when the enzyme is viewed from the cytoplasm. This relationship provides stability to the membrane interface between a and b(2), allowing it to withstand the torque imparted by the rotor during ATP synthesis as well as ATP hydrolysis.
