A New Type of Na(+)-Driven ATP Synthase Membrane Rotor with a Two-Carboxylate Ion-Coupling Motif

The anaerobic bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum uses glutamate decarboxylation to generate a transmembrane gradient of Na(+). Here, we demonstrate that this ion-motive force is directly coupled to ATP synthesis, via an F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase with a novel Na(+) recognition motif, shared by other human...
