We have determined the structure of intact ATP synthase from bovine heart mitochondria by electron cryomicroscopy of single particles. Docking of an atomic model of the F-1-c(10) subcomplex into a major segment of the map has allowed the 32 Angstrom resolution density to be interpreted as the F-1-ATPase, a central and a peripheral stalk and an F-O membrane region that is composed of two domains. One domain of F-O corresponds to the ring of c-subunits, and the other probably contains the a-subunit, the transmembrane portion of the b-subunit and the remaining integral membrane proteins of F-O. The peripheral stalk wraps around the molecule and connects the apex of F-1 to the second domain of F-O. The interaction of the peripheral stalk with F-1-c(10) implies that it binds to a non-catalytic alpha-beta interface in F-1 and its inclination where it is not attached to F-1 suggests that it has a flexible region that can serve as a stator during both ATP synthesis and ATP hydrolysis.
