The nucleotide sequence has been determined of a 2,500 base pair segment of the E. coli chromosome located between 3.75 and 6.25 kb counterclockwise of the origin of replication at 83.5 min. The sequence contains the atp genes coding for subunits a-, b-, c-, delta- and part of the alpha-subunit of the membrane bound ATP synthase. The precise start positions of the atpE (c), atpF (b), atpH (delta) and atpA (alpha) genes have been defined by comparison of the potential coding sequences with the known amino acid sequence of the c-subunit and the determined N-terminal amino acid sequences of the respective subunits. The genes are expressed in the counterclockwise direction. Their order (counterclockwise) is: atpB (a), atpE (c), atpF (b), atpH (delta) and atpA(alpha). The coding sequences for subunits b and delta yield polypeptides of 156 and 177 amino acids, respectively, in accordance with the established sizes of these subunits; the one for the c-subunit, the DCCD binding protein, fits perfectly with its known sequence of 79 amino acids. The a-subunit is comprised within a coding sequence yielding a polypeptide of 271 amino acids. It is suggested, however, that the a-subunit (atpB) contains only 201 amino acids, in accordance with its known size, starting from a translation initiation site within the larger coding sequence. The stoichiometry of the F0 sector subunits is discussed and a model is proposed for the functioning of the highly charged b-subunit of the F0 sector as the actual proton conductor.
