Abstract
Background: The plasma membrane H+-ATPase generates electrochemical gradients in plants and fungi. The minimal subunit organization required for activity is not known. Results: We developed a protocol for reconstitution of active H+-ATPase in nanodiscs. Conclusion: The minimal functional unit of the H+-ATPase is a monomer. Significance: The plasma membrane H+-ATPase functions like well characterized cation pumping P-type ATPases.
