The isolated epsilon subunit of F(1)-ATPase from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 (TF(1)) binds ATP [Y. Kato-Yamada, M. Yoshida, J. Biol. Chem. 278 (2003) 36013]. The obvious question is whether the ATP binding concern with the regulation of ATP synthase activity or not. If so, the epsilon subunit even in the ATP synthase complex should have the ability to bind ATP. To check if the ATP binding to the epsilon subunit within the ATP synthase complex may occur, the gammaepsilon sub-complex of TF(1) was prepared and ATP binding was examined. The results clearly showed that the gammaepsilon sub-complex can bind ATP.

The motility of sperm decreases following cryopreservation, which is closely associated with mitochondrial function. However, the alterations in mitochondrial metabolism after sperm freezing in goats remain unclear. This experiment aimed to investigate the impact of ultra-low temperature freezing on goat sperm's mitochondrial energy metabolism and its potential correlation with sperm motility.

The human mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) uses the proton motive force to drive hydride transfer from NADH to NADP and is a major contributor to the generation of mitochondrial NADPH. NNT plays a critical role in maintaining cellular redox balance. NNT-deficiency results in oxidative damage and its absence results in familial glucocorticoid deficiency.

ATP-pyrophosphatases (ATP-PPases) are the most primordial lineage of the large and diverse HUP (high-motif proteins, universal stress proteins, ATP-pyrophosphatase) superfamily. There are four different ATP-PPase substrate-specificity groups (SSGs), and members of each group show considerable sequence variation across the domains of life despite sharing the same catalytic function. Owing to the expansion in the number of ATP-PPase domain structures from advances in protein structure prediction by AlphaFold2 (AF2), we have characterized the two most populated ATP-PPase SSGs, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthases (NADSs) and guanosine monophosphate synthases (GMPSs).
