  • Title: Immunoelectron microscopic localization of the F1F0 ATPase (ATP synthase) on the cytoplasmic membrane of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus RAB.
    Author: Rohde M, Mayer F, Hicks DB, Krulwich TA.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1989 Oct 16; 985(2):233-5. PubMed ID: 2529907.
    Abstract:
    Evidence that the F1F0 ATPase (ATP synthase) of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus RAB is localized exclusively on the cytoplasmic membrane was obtained by immunogold electron microscopy using a highly specific polyclonal antibody against the beta subunit of Escherichia coli F1F0 ATPase. The energetic problem faced by cells of B. firmus RAB growing oxidatively at pH 10.5 despite a low protonmotive force across the cytoplasmic membrane cannot, therefore, be circumvented by localization of energy transducing functions on hypothetical internal membranes.
