ATP synthase subunit beta, mitochondrial (ATP5B)

The protein contains 529 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 56560 Da.

 

Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Subunits alpha and beta form the catalytic core in F(1). Rotation of the central stalk against the surrounding alpha(3)beta(3) subunits leads to hydrolysis of ATP in three separate catalytic sites on the beta subunits. (updated: April 1, 2015)

DESCRIPTION

Mitochondrial ATP synthase catalyzes ATP formation, using the energy of proton flux through the inner membrane during oxidative phosphorylation. Two subunits of the enzyme are encoded by mitochondrial genes and the others by nuclear genes. The beta subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase is encoded by a nuclear gene (summary by Ohta et al., 1988).

CLONING

Ohta et al. (1988) cloned a cDNA of the human beta subunit of ATP synthase. Neckelmann et al. (1989, 1989) sequenced the human ATP synthase beta-subunit gene and demonstrated that it is preferentially expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. The gene encodes a leader peptide of 49 amino acids and a mature protein of 480 amino acids.

GENE STRUCTURE

Ohta et al. (1988) determined that the ATP5B gene contains 10 exons, with the first exon corresponding to the noncoding region and most of the presequence that targets this protein to the mitochondria.

MAPPING

Kudoh et al. (1989) assigned the ATPMB locus to the p13-qter region of human chromosome 12 by analysis of human-mouse somatic cell hybrid DNA and by use of flow-sorted chromosomes. They assigned 2 related sequences, ATPMBL1 and ATPMBL2, to chromosome 2 and 17, respectively.

GENE FUNCTION

Martinez et al. (2003) identified ATP5B as a high affinity HDL receptor for apolipoprotein A1 (107680). They used a variety of experimental approaches to confirm this ectopic localization of components of the ATP synthase complex and the presence of ATP hydrolase activity at the hepatocyte cell surface. Receptor stimulation by apoA-I triggers the endocytosis of holo-HDL particles (protein plus lipid) by a mechanism that depends strictly on the generation of ADP. Martinez et al. (2003) confirmed this effect on endocytosis in perfused rat liver ex vivo by using a specific inhibitor of ATP synthase. Thus, Martinez et al. (2003) concluded that membrane-bound ATP synthase has a previously unsuspected role in modulating the concentrations of extracellular ADP and is regulated by a principal plasma apolipoprotein.

ANIMAL MODEL

Kim et al. (2012) found that the Gsto1a isoform of Drosophila Gsto1 (605482) modified Atp5b by glutathionylation and enhanced mitochondrial ATPase synthase assembly and activity. Parkin (PARK2; 602544) mutant flies showed reduced expression of both Gsto1 and Atp5b and reduced ATPase function compared with controls. Overexpression of Gsto1 enhanced mitochondrial ATPase function and partially reversed the phenotype of parkin mutant flies, including degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and muscle, cellular tubulin (see 602529) accumulation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Knockdown of Atp5b in flies via RNA interference induced some of the parkin mutant phenotype. ... More on the omim web site
