The Na(+) F(1)F(O) ATP synthase of the anaerobic, acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii has a unique F(O)V(O) hybrid rotor that contains nine copies of a F(O)-like c subunit and one copy of a V(O)-like c(1) subunit with one ion binding site in four transmembrane helices whose cellular function...
