Role of the carboxyl‐terminal region of the PVP protein (F0I subunit) in the H+ conduction of F0F1 H+‐ATP synthase of bovine heart mitochondria

Abstract
By means of protein sequencing, labelling with thiol reagents and reconstitution studies it is shown that the carboxyl‐terminal region of the PVP protein (F0I subunit, nuclear‐encoded protein of M r 25000) of mitochondrial F0 promotes transmembrane proton conduction by F0 and the sensitivity of this process to oligomycin.
