Propionigenium modestum is a strictly anaerobic gram negative bacterium which grows from the fermentation of succinate to propionate and CO2. The energy generated during the decarboxylation of methyl-malonyl CoA is used to generate a sodium ion gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane. The energy of the sodium gradient then drives ATP synthesis catalyzed by a sodium dependent FIFO ATPase. The ATPase of P. modestum has been shown to couple translocation of either sodium ions or protons to ATP hydrolysis (1). This enzyme is interesting since other characterized bacterial FIFO ATPases are thought to be strictly proton translocating. The Escherichia coli unc operon, which codes for the ATPase polypeptides, consists of nine genes coding for the F1 and Fo domains of the enzyme. The Fo portion is membrane intrinsic and is encoded by three genes organized in a linear fashion in the E. coli unc operon. The Fo subunits from P. modestun have been sequenced and the sequence is shown here. The subunits are termed uncB, uncE and uncF and their reading frames begin at base numbers 235, 1168 and 1545 respectively in the P. modestum nucleotide sequence shown below. The Shine-Dalgamo sequences as well as the stop codons for the individual subunits are underlined. The start codons appear in bold letters. Translation initiation for subunit b (coded by uncF) probably starts with a UUG start codon as reported for uncB in Bacillus megaterium or with the AUG located 15 nucleotides further 3' in the same reading frame. The sequence was obtained after construction of a bacteriophage X Dash library with chromosomal P. modestum DNA. The library was then screened with an oligonucleotide
