Molecular mechanism on forcible ejection of ATPase inhibitory factor 1 from mitochondrial ATP synthase

IF1 is a natural inhibitor of mitochondrial FoF1-ATP synthase, which blocks catalysis and rotation of the F1 motor. Here, the authors show the rotational-direction-dependence of activation from IF1 inhibition, with IF1 being readily dissociated when F1 rotates to the clockwise direction.
