Preferred term

Bacterial Proton-Translocating ATPases  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Entry terms

  • Bacterial F(1)F(0) ATPases

Note

  • coord with specific bacterium /enzymol

Scope note

  • Membrane-bound proton-translocating ATPases that serve two important physiological functions in bacteria. One function is to generate ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE by utilizing the energy provided by an electrochemical gradient of protons across the cellular membrane. A second function is to counteract a loss of the transmembrane ion gradient by pumping protons at the expense of adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis.
