Fig. 9. Tetrameric mtATPase assemblies in the membrane. The oligomerisation of identical mtATPase complexes has been proposed to form a rigid arc that leads to a protrusion of the inner mitochondrial membrane (A) (adapted from Allen, 1995). Here, for simplicity the contributing complexes are shown lacking the peripheral stator stalk and FO subunits aside from the subunit 9 (c) ring. Interactions between the DsRed moiety of mtATPase tetramers in {gamma}-27-DsRed cells may prevent the component monomers from arcing away from each other and out from the membrane, thus promoting sheets of inner mitochondrial membrane lacking curvature (B).
