Abstract:
:The cDNA for subunit d of rat mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthase was cloned from a brain cDNA library. The protein contains internally repeat structures that have sequences similar to those of other ATP-related proteins. The antibodies raised against the protein A-subunit d fusion protein expressed in E. coli specifically recognized only the protein in the mitochondria. The Na2 CO3 fractionation followed by immunoblotting analyses suggest that at least a part of the protein is inserted into the membrane.
