[[ATPase]] is an enzyme which catalyzes the breakdown of ATP into ADP and a phosphate ion. This dephosphorylation releases energy which the enzyme uses to drive other reactions. | [[ATPase]] is an enzyme which catalyzes the breakdown of ATP into ADP and a phosphate ion. This dephosphorylation releases energy which the enzyme uses to drive other reactions. ATPAse types include:<br /> | ||
* '''F-ATPase''' - the prime producers of ATP;<br /> | |||
* '''V-ATPase''' or Vacuolar-type H+ ATPase couples the energy to proton transport across membranes.<br /> | |||
* '''A-ATPase''' are found in archaea;<br /> | |||
* '''P-ATPase''' transport ions;<br /> | |||
* '''E-ATPase''' hydrolyze extracellular ATP. <br /> | |||
* '''MipZ''' is an ATPase which forms a complex with the chromosome partitioning protein ParB and is responsible for the regulation of FtsZ ring formation.<br /> | |||
ATPase domains include metal-binding domain (MBD) and nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). For more details see:<br /> | |||
