title: Mutations in the delta subunit influence the assembly of F1F0 ATP synthase in Escherichia coli.
abstract: Missense mutations affecting Asp-161 and Ser-163 in the delta subunit of F1F0 ATP synthase have been generated. Although most substitutions allowed substantial enzyme function, the delta Asp-161-->Pro substitution resulted in a loss of enzyme activity. The loss of activity was attributable to a structural failure altering assembly of the enzyme complex.
