The involvement of subunit 6 (a) in the interface between yeast ATP synthase monomers has been highlighted. Based on the formation of a disulfide bond and using the unique cysteine 23 as target, we show that two subunits 6 are close in the inner mitochondrial membrane and in the solubilized supramolecular forms of the yeast ATP synthase. In a null mutant devoid of supernumerary subunits e and g that are involved in the stabilization of ATP synthase dimers, ATP synthase monomers are close enough in the inner mitochondrial membrane to make a disulfide bridge between their subunits 6, and this proximity is maintained in detergent extract containing this enzyme. The cross-linking of cysteine 23 located in the N-terminal part of the first transmembrane helix of subunit 6 suggests that this membrane-spanning segment is in contact with its counterpart belonging to the ATP synthase monomer that faces it and participates in the monomer-monomer interface.
