We determined the structure of a complete, dimeric F1Fo-ATP synthase from yeast Yarrowia lipolytica mitochondria by a combination of cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography. The final structure resolves 58 of the 60 dimer subunits. Horizontal helices of subunit a in Fo wrap around the c-ring rotor, and a total of six vertical helices assigned to subunits a, b, f, i, and 8 span the membrane. Subunit 8 (A6L in human) is an evolutionary derivative of the bacterial b subunit. On the lumenal membrane surface, subunit f establishes direct contact between the two monomers. Comparison with a cryo-EM map of the F1Fo monomer identifies subunits e and g at the lateral dimer interface. They do not form dimer contacts but enable dimer formation by inducing a strong membrane curvature of ∼100°. Our structure explains the structural basis of cristae formation in mitochondria, a landmark signature of eukaryotic cell morphology. Cryo-EM structure of a yeast F1Fo-ATP synthase dimer Inhibitor-free X-ray structure of the F1 head and rotor complex Mechanism of ATP generation by rotary catalysis Structural basis of cristae formation in the inner mitochondrial membrane ATP synthases are complex macromolecular machines that supply most of the ATP in cells. Hahn et al. present the structure of a complete ATP synthase dimer, which provides insights into both the mechanism of these nanomotors and how they cause membrane bending to form cristae in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
