F0F1-ATP synthase (Complex V), F0 sector

1 reactions · 1 pathways

Clinical / pharmacological. Inhibited by oligomycin; bypassed by uncouplers (DNP, UCP1)

What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Oxidative Phosphorylation (Chemiosmotic Mechanism and ATP Synthase) Energy Metabolism & Cellular Respiration · Inner mitochondrial membrane

step 3 Irreversible/directional

H+intermembrane space → H+matrix through F0; rotation of the c-ring and gamma shaft

Converts H+ (intermembrane space)

Notes

The membrane-embedded F0 sector contains the a subunit and rotating c-ring: protonation/deprotonation of conserved c-subunit carboxylates drives c-ring rotation relative to the stator. Required condition/cofactor: the proton-motive force and intact F0; oligomycin binds F0 and blocks proton flow, thereby inhibiting ATP synthesis and secondarily slowing respiration.

What accelerates and inhibits it

Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately

1 entries

Oxidative Phosphorylation (Chemiosmotic Mechanism and ATP Synthase)

Listed there as: F0F1-ATP synthase (Complex V)

Accelerated by

ADP, Pi, adequate proton-motive force

Inhibited by

Oligomycin; IF1 can inhibit ATP hydrolysis under conditions of mitochondrial depolarization

Hormonal control

Thyroid hormone and endurance training can raise mitochondrial oxidative capacity over time; acute control follows ADP/Pi availability
