Divergently. At one point there was only one subunit.

Detailed explanation-1: -The bacterial and mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthases both consist of a membranous sector, F0, which forms a H(+)-channel, and an extramembranous sector, F1, which is responsible for catalysis. When detached from the membrane, the purified F1 sector functions mainly as an ATPase.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two major components of ATP synthase: F0 is an electric rotary motor located inside the mitochondrial matrix with an ion pump to transfer protons across the cell membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -F0F1-ATPase/ATP synthase (F-type ATPase, complex V) is present in the inner membrane of eukaryotic mitochondria and acts as the powerhouse of the cell by synthesizing ATP.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATP is synthesized by the enzyme F1F0-ATP synthase. This enzyme, the smallest-known molecular machine, couples proton translocation through its membrane-embedded, hydrophobic domain, F0, to the synthesis of ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) in its soluble, hydrophilic headpiece, F1.
