F 1 ‐ATPase is an ATP‐driven motor in which γε rotates in the α 3 β 3 ‐cylinder. It is attenuated by MgADP inhibition and by the ε subunit in an inhibitory form. The non‐inhibitory form of ε subunit of thermophilic Bacillus PS3 F 1 ‐ATPase is stabilized by ATP‐binding with micromolar K d at 25 °C. Here, we show that at [ATP] > 2 μM, ε does not affect rotation of PS3 F 1 ‐ATPase but, at 200 nM ATP, ε prolongs the pause of rotation caused by MgADP inhibition while the frequency of the pause is unchanged. It appears that ε undergoes reversible transition to the inhibitory form at [ATP] below K d .
