Type III ATP synthase is a symmetry-deviated dimer that induces membrane curvature through tetramerization

Mitochondrial ATP synthases are involved in shaping the mitochondrial cristae. The cryo-EM structure of type III ATP synthase reveals the architecture of the unusual, asymmetrical, U-shaped dimer and offers insights into the interaction with the natural inhibitor IF1 and membrane lipids. The structu...
