F1-ATPase, the rotary motor that powers most of the processes in living cells, has challenged scientists, experimentalists, and theoreticians alike to gain deeper understanding of its action. The work on F1 for more than two decades encompasses elucidation of the complex 3D structure (1) and the analysis of the thermodynamics and kinetics of the chemical steps (2) that led to the revelation of its rotary–chemical action (3). These advances were enhanced by direct observation of the F1 central stalk (γ) rotation (4) that is tightly coupled to the chemical steps of the ATP binding, hydrolysis, and product release, occurring in the three catalytic subunits of the crown (α/β). The γ rotation was observed to occur in substeps of 80°/40° that were embedded within the waiting dwells, namely, the “ATP binding dwell” before the 80° substep and the “catalytic dwell” before the 40° substep (5) (Fig. 1). Since the initial progress made almost two decades ago, the study of various aspects of F1 continues to occupy a central position, as ongoing efforts offer more detailed insights into the structure, function, and dynamics of the system (6, 7). (A) The crystal structure of F1 is shown from sidewise and top-down views of the central stalk γ (in magenta). The catalytic crown consists of three pairs of α/β-subunits in D (blue), T (orange/yellow), and E (green) conformations, where nucleotides ADP and ATP bound to subunits D and T are shown in red and cyan, respectively. For each 120° rotation of the γ, the catalytic subunits changes from D1E2T3 to T1E2D3, where 1, 2, and 3 denote the catalytic subunit number. (B) An analytical free-energy surface depicting the coupled rotary–chemical process for a single ATP …
