Structural basis of mitochondrial membrane bending by the I-II-III2-IV2 supercomplex

Alexander Muhleip et al.

Summary: In this study, it was revealed that a supercomplex containing all four respiratory chain components contributes to membrane curvature induction in ciliates. Cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-tomography techniques were used to determine the structure of the supercomplex, which is composed of 150 different proteins and 311 bound lipids. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that the divergent supercomplex actively contributes to membrane curvature induction and tubulation of cristae. These findings highlight the evolutionary significance of protein subunits of respiratory complexes in shaping the bioenergetic membrane for functional specialization.

The persistent homology of mitochondrial ATP synthases

Savar D. Sinha et al.

Summary: Relatively little is known about ATP synthase structure in protists, and the investigated ones exhibit divergent structures distinct from yeast or animals. To clarify the subunit composition of ATP synthases across all eukaryotic lineages, we used homology detection techniques and molecular modeling tools to identify an ancestral set of 17 ATP synthase subunits. Our comparative approach highlights the persistence of ancestral subunits even amidst major structural changes.

Structure of ATP synthase under strain during catalysis

Hui Guo et al.

Summary: ATP synthases are composed of F-1 and F-O motors, which are held together by a peripheral stalk. The peripheral stalk can resist the bending force caused by the rotation of the rotor during ATP hydrolysis or proton translocation. CryoEM imaging of yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase during ATP-hydrolysis-driven rotary catalysis reveals a large deformation of the peripheral stalk. This deformation is caused by the accumulation of strain in the stalk due to proton translocation, which drives the relative rotation of the rotor and enables efficient synthesis of ATP.

Microbial predators form a new supergroup of eukaryotes

Denis V. V. Tikhonenkov et al.

Summary: The molecular phylogenetics of microbial eukaryotes has led to the establishment of new taxonomic divisions, superseding traditional kingdoms and revealing a much broader diversity. The discovery of a new supergroup of eukaryotes, Provora, through isolated culture, underscores the importance of exploring eukaryotic diversity through traditional methods in the age of high-throughput analyses. These predators, Nebulidia and Nibbleridia, are globally distributed and distinct from other eukaryotes in genetics, morphology, and behavior.

Structure of a mitochondrial ribosome with fragmented rRNA in complex with membrane-targeting elements

Victor Tobiasson et al.

Summary: Mitoribosomes of green algae exhibit structural divergence from their tracheophyte relatives, with fragmentation of both rRNA and proteins. By analyzing the structure of the mitoribosome from the alga Polytomella magna, researchers identified non-canonical forms of rRNA and peripherally associated proteins involved in binding. These findings suggest an evolutionary pathway and support the concept of a primordial fragmented ribosome. The study provides insights into the evolution of the ribosomal machinery in mitochondria.

Structure of mycobacterial ATP synthase bound to the tuberculosis drug bedaquiline

Hui Guo et al.

Summary: The study of the ATP synthase structures in Mycobacterium smegmatis has provided insights into how the enzyme conserves energy through autoinhibition of ATP hydrolysis and the mechanism of action of the drug bedaquiline used in treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is increasingly resistant to first-line antibiotics, allowing infections to remain dormant and decreasing susceptibility to many antibiotics. Bedaquiline, developed from a lead compound identified in a screen against Mycobacterium smegmatis, targets the mycobacterial ATP synthase and is a cornerstone in the treatment of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Structure of the ATP synthase from Mycobacterium smegmatis provides targets for treating tuberculosis

Martin G. Montgomery et al.

Summary: The structure of ATP synthase from Mycobacterium smegmatis has been determined by electron cryomicroscopy, revealing previously unrecognized features that are crucial for understanding the mechanism and regulation of the enzyme. The study identified new substates in the catalytic cycle, mechanisms of auto-inhibition of ATP hydrolysis, and modes of attachment of alpha-subunits, providing potential targets for innovative antitubercular drugs. The structure also supports the observation that the transmembrane proton-motive force is delivered directly to the rotor via a Grotthuss water chain in a polar L-shaped tunnel.

pH-dependent 11° F1FO ATP synthase sub-steps reveal insight into the FO torque generating mechanism

Seiga Yanagisawa et al.

Summary: This study investigates the torque-generating mechanism in the F1FO ATP synthase, showing that mutations in the half-channels can change their pKa values and ultimately affect proton translocation. The experiments also reveal the ability of F-O to undergo single c-subunit rotational stepping, supporting a Grotthuss mechanism involving single water molecules in each half-channel linked by c-ring rotation. Furthermore, the pH-dependent 11-degree ATP synthase-direction sub-steps of the c(10)-ring were observed, providing evidence for a mechanism involving alternating proton translocation-dependent rotational sub-steps to sustain F1FO ATP synthesis.

Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.
