Taking advantage of the different phenotypes between RNA interference knock-down cell lines in which the expression of proteins involved in mtRNA metabolism and editing can be silenced, we provide support for the view that ATP6 is encoded in the mt genome of Trypanosoma species and that it is incorporated into complex V. The reduction of the F1FO oligomer of complex V coincides with the accumulation of the F, moiety in ATP6-lacking cells, which also appear to lack the F-O ATP9 multimeric ring. The oligomycin sensitivity of ATPase activity of complex V in ATP6-lacking cells is reduced, reflecting the insensitivity of the Dk and Ak cells to this drug. In addition, the F, moiety of complex V appears to exist as a dimer in steady state conditions and contains the ATP4 subunit traditionally assigned to the F-O sub-complex.
