The first low resolution solution structure of the soluble domain of subunitb(b22–156) of theEscherichia coliF1FOATPsynthase was determined from small-angle X-ray scattering data. The dimeric protein has a boomerang-like shape with a total length of 16.2±0.3 nm. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) shows that the protein binds effectively to the subunit δ, confirming their described neighborhood. Using the recombinant C-terminal domain (δ91–177) of subunit δ and the C-terminal peptides of subunitb,b120–140andb140–156, FCS titration experiments were performed to assign the segments involved in δ−bassembly. These data identify the very C-terminal tailb140–156to interact with δ91–177. The novel 3D structure of this peptide has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. The molecule adopts a stable helix formation in solution with a flexible tail between amino acid 140 to 145.
