The gene coding for the β‐subunit of the sodium ion translocating ATP synthase from Propionigenium modestum was cloned and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence resembles that of the β‐subunits from proton‐translocating ATP synthases. The same conserved regions are found in both types of ATP synthases. This is a good indication that the β‐subunits of the proton and sodium ion translocating ATP synthases have evolved from a common ancestor.
