Solution structure of subunit F (Vma7p) of the eukaryotic V(1)V(O) ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae derived from SAXS and NMR spectroscopy. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2010; 1808:360-8. [PMID: 20840841 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2010.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2010] [Revised: 09/03/2010] [Accepted: 09/07/2010] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis, catalyzed in the A(3)B(3) sector of the V(1) ATPase to pump protons via the membrane-embedded V(O) sector. The energy coupling between the two sectors occurs via the so-called central stalk, to which subunit F does belong. Here we present the first low resolution structure of recombinant subunit F (Vma7p) of a eukaryotic V-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, analyzed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The protein is divided into a 5.5nm long egg-like shaped region, connected via a 1.5nm linker to a hook-like segment at one end. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that subunit F comprises of 43% α-helix, 32% β-sheet and a 25% random coil arrangement. To determine the localization of the N- and C-termini in the protein, the C-terminal truncated form of F, F(1-94) was produced and analyzed by SAXS. Comparison of the F(1-94) shape with the one of subunit F showed the missing hook-like region in F(1-94), supported by the decreased D(max) value of F(1-94) (7.0nm), and indicating that the hook-like region consists of the C-terminal residues. The NMR solution structure of the C-terminal peptide, F(90-116), was solved, displaying an α-helical region between residues 103 and 113. The F(90-116) solution structure fitted well in the hook-like region of subunit F. Finally, the arrangement of subunit F within the V(1) ATPase is discussed.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases are ATP-dependent proton pumps that acidify intracellular compartments and, in some cases, transport protons across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Intracellular V-ATPases play an important role in normal physiological processes such as receptor-mediated endocytosis, intracellular membrane trafficking, pro-hormone processing, protein degradation, and the coupled uptake of small molecules, such as neurotransmitters. They also function in the entry of various pathogenic agents, including many envelope viruses, like influenza virus, and toxins, like anthrax toxin. Plasma membrane V-ATPases function in renal pH homeostasis, bone resorption and sperm maturation, and various disease processes, including renal tubular acidosis, osteopetrosis, and tumor metastasis. V-ATPases are composed of a peripheral V(1) domain containing eight different subunits that is responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral V(0) domain containing six different subunits that translocates protons. In mammalian cells, most of the V-ATPase subunits exist in multiple isoforms which are often expressed in a tissue specific manner. Isoforms of one of the V(0) subunits (subunit a) have been shown to possess information that targets the V-ATPase to distinct cellular destinations. Mutations in isoforms of subunit a lead to the human diseases osteopetrosis and renal tubular acidosis. A number of mechanisms are employed to regulate V-ATPase activity in vivo, including reversible dissociation of the V(1) and V(0) domains, control of the tightness of coupling of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis, and selective targeting of V-ATPases to distinct cellular membranes. Isoforms of subunit a are involved in regulation both via the control of coupling and via selective targeting. This review will begin with a brief introduction to the function, structure, and mechanism of the V-ATPases followed by a discussion of the role of V-ATPase subunit isoforms and the mechanisms involved in regulation of V-ATPase activity.

Vacuolar (H+)-ATPases in Caenorhabditis elegans: what can we learn about giant H+ pumps from tiny worms? BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOENERGETICS 2010; 1797:1687-95.

Abstract
Vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases, also called V-ATPases, are ATP-driven proton pumps that are highly phylogenetically conserved. Early biochemical and cell biological studies have revealed many details of the molecular mechanism of proton pumping and of the structure of the multi-subunit membrane complex, including the stoichiometry of subunit composition. In addition, yeast and mouse genetics have broadened our understanding of the physiological consequences of defective vacuolar acidification and its related disease etiologies. Recently, phenotypic investigation of V-ATPase mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans has revealed unexpected new roles of V-ATPases in both cellular function and early development. In this review, we discuss the functions of the V-ATPases discovered in C. elegans.

Abstract
Subunit G is an essential stalk subunit of the eukaryotic proton pump V(1)V(O) ATPase. Previously the structure of the N-terminal region, G(1)(-)(59), of the 13kDa subunit G was solved at higher resolution. Here solution NMR was performed to determine the structure of the recombinant C-terminal region (G(61)(-)(101)) of subunit G of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae V(1)V(O) ATPase. The protein forms an extended alpha-helix between residues 64 and 100, whereby the first five- and the last residues of G(61)(-)(101) are flexible. The surface charge distribution of G(61)(-)(101) reveals an amphiphilic character at the C-terminus due to positive and negative charge distribution at one side and a hydrophobic surface on the opposite side of the structure. The hydrophobic surface pattern is mainly formed by alanine residues. The alanine residues 72, 74 and 81 were exchanged by a single cysteine in the entire subunit G. Cysteines at positions 72 and 81 showed disulfide formation. In contrast, no crosslink could be formed for the mutant Ala74Cys. Together with the recently determined NMR solution structure of G(1)(-)(59), the presented solution structure of G(61)(-)(101) enabled us to present a first structural model of the entire subunit G of the S. cerevisiae V(1)V(O) ATPase.

Abstract
The eubacterium Thermus thermophilus uses a macromolecular assembly closely related to eukaryotic V-ATPase to produce its supply of ATP. This simplified V-ATPase offers several advantages over eukaryotic V-ATPases for structural analysis and investigation of the mechanism of the enzyme. Here we report the structure of the complex at approximately 16 A resolution as determined by single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM). The resolution of the map and our use of cryo-EM, rather than negative stain EM, reveals detailed information about the internal organization of the assembly. We could separate the map into segments corresponding to subunits A and B, the threefold pseudosymmetric C-subunit, a central rotor consisting of subunits D and F, the L-ring, the stator subcomplex consisting of subunits I, E, and G, and a micelle of bound detergent. The architecture of the V(O) region shows a remarkably small area of contact between the I-subunit and the ring of L-subunits and is consistent with a two half-channel model for proton translocation. The arrangement of structural elements in V(O) gives insight into the mechanism of torque generation from proton translocation.

Abstract
Electron microscopy together with single-particle image processing is an excellent method for structure determination of biological assemblies that exist in multiple identical copies. Typical assemblies contain several proteins and/or nucleic acids in a defined and reproducible arrangement. Coherent averaging of electron microscopic images of 5000-100,000 copies of these assemblies allows the determination of three-dimensional structures at ca. 1-3-nm resolution. At this intermediate resolution, it is possible to map individual subunits and thus to understand the architecture and quaternary structure of the assemblies. The intermediate resolution structural information gives a solid basis on which pseudo-atomic models of the assemblies can be modeled provided that high-resolution structures of smaller entities are known. The architecture of the assemblies, their pseudo-atomic models, and knowledge on their plasticity during function give a comprehensive understanding of large-scale structural dynamics of multicopy biological complexes. In this review, we will introduce the experimental pipeline and discuss selected examples.

Abstract
SUMMARY
The life of every eukaryotic cell depends on the function of vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). Today we know that V-ATPase is vital for many more physiological and biochemical processes than it was expected three decades ago when the enzyme was discovered. These range from a crucial role in the function of internal organelles such as vacuoles, lysosomes, synaptic vesicles, endosomes, secretory granules and the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane of several organisms and specific tissues, and specialized cells. The overall structure and mechanism of action of the V-ATPase is supposed to be similar to that of the well-characterized F-type ATP synthase (F-ATPase). Both consist of a soluble catalytic domain (V1 or F1) that is coupled to a membrane-spanning domain (Vo or Fo) by one or more `stalk' components. Owing to the complexity and challenging properties of V-ATPase its study is lagging behind that of its relative F-ATPase. Time will tell whether V-ATPase shares an identical mechanism of action with F-ATPase or its mode of operation is unique.

Abstract
Disassembly of the yeast V-ATPase into cytosolic V(1) and membrane V(0) sectors inactivates MgATPase activity of the V(1)-ATPase. This inactivation requires the V(1) H subunit (Parra, K. J., Keenan, K. L., and Kane, P. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 21761-21767), but its mechanism is not fully understood. The H subunit has two domains. Interactions of each domain with V(1) and V(0) subunits were identified by two-hybrid assay. The B subunit of the V(1) catalytic headgroup interacted with the H subunit N-terminal domain (H-NT), and the C-terminal domain (H-CT) interacted with V(1) subunits B, E (peripheral stalk), and D (central stalk), and the cytosolic N-terminal domain of V(0) subunit Vph1p. V(1)-ATPase complexes from yeast expressing H-NT are partially inhibited, exhibiting 26% the MgATPase activity of complexes with no H subunit. The H-CT domain does not copurify with V(1) when expressed in yeast, but the bacterially expressed and purified H-CT domain inhibits MgATPase activity in V(1) lacking H almost as well as the full-length H subunit. Binding of full-length H subunit to V(1) was more stable than binding of either H-NT or H-CT, suggesting that both domains contribute to binding and inhibition. Intact H and H-CT can bind to the expressed N-terminal domain of Vph1p, but this fragment of Vph1p does not bind to V(1) complexes containing subunit H. We propose that upon disassembly, the H subunit undergoes a conformational change that inhibits V(1)-ATPase activity and precludes V(0) interactions.

Abstract
A growing number of solved protein structures display an elongated structural
domain, denoted here as alpha-rod, composed of stacked pairs of anti-parallel
alpha-helices. Alpha-rods are flexible and expose a large surface, which makes
them suitable for protein interaction. Although most likely originating by
tandem duplication of a two-helix unit, their detection using sequence
similarity between repeats is poor. Here, we show that alpha-rod repeats can be
detected using a neural network. The network detects more repeats than are
identified by domain databases using multiple profiles, with a low level of
false positives (<10%). We identify alpha-rod repeats in
approximately 0.4% of proteins in eukaryotic genomes. We then
investigate the results for all human proteins, identifying alpha-rod repeats
for the first time in six protein families, including proteins STAG1-3, SERAC1,
and PSMD1-2 & 5. We also characterize a short version of these repeats
in eight protein families of Archaeal, Bacterial, and Fungal species. Finally,
we demonstrate the utility of these predictions in directing experimental work
to demarcate three alpha-rods in huntingtin, a protein mutated in
Huntington's disease. Using yeast two hybrid analysis and an
immunoprecipitation technique, we show that the huntingtin fragments containing
alpha-rods associate with each other. This is the first definition of domains in
huntingtin and the first validation of predicted interactions between fragments
of huntingtin, which sets up directions toward functional characterization of
this protein. An implementation of the repeat detection algorithm is available
as a Web server with a simple graphical output: http://www.ogic.ca/projects/ard. This can be further visualized
using BiasViz, a graphic tool for representation of multiple sequence
alignments. Many proteins have an elongated structural domain formed by a stack of alpha
helices (alpha-rod), often found to interact with other proteins. The
identification of an alpha-rod in a protein can therefore tell something about
both the function and the structure of that protein. Though alpha-rods can be
readily identified from the structure of proteins, for the vast majority of
known proteins this is unavailable, and we have to use their amino acid
sequence. Because alpha-rods have highly variable sequences, commonly used
methods of domain identification by sequence similarity have difficulty
detecting them. However, alpha-rods do have specific patterns of amino acid
properties along their sequences, so we used a computational method based on a
neural network to learn these patterns. We illustrate how this method finds
novel instances of the domain in proteins from a wide range of organisms. We
performed detailed analysis of huntingtin, the protein mutated in
Huntington's chorea, a neurodegenerative disease. The function of
huntingtin remains a mystery partially due to the lack of knowledge about its
structure. Therefore, we defined three alpha-rods in this protein and
experimentally verified how they interact with each other, a novel result that
opens new avenues for huntingtin research.

Abstract
The subunit architecture of the yeast vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) was analyzed by single particle transmission electron microscopy and electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry. A three-dimensional model of the intact V-ATPase was calculated from two-dimensional projections of the complex at a resolution of 25 angstroms. Images of yeast V-ATPase decorated with monoclonal antibodies against subunits A, E, and G position subunit A within the pseudo-hexagonal arrangement in the V1, the N terminus of subunit G in the V1-V0 interface, and the C terminus of subunit E at the top of the V1 domain. ESI tandem mass spectrometry of yeast V1-ATPase showed that subunits E and G are most easily lost in collision-induced dissociation, consistent with a peripheral location of the subunits. An atomic model of the yeast V-ATPase was generated by fitting of the available x-ray crystal structures into the electron microscopy-derived electron density map. The resulting atomic model of the yeast vacuolar ATPase serves as a framework to help understand the role the peripheral stalk subunits are playing in the regulation of the ATP hydrolysis driven proton pumping activity of the vacuolar ATPase.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate, ATP, is the energy currency of living cells. While ATP synthases of archae and ATP synthases of pro- and eukaryotic organisms operate as energy producers by synthesizing ATP, the eukaryotic V-ATPase hydrolyzes ATP and thus functions as energy transducer. These enzymes share features like the hydrophilic catalytic- and the membrane-embedded ion-translocating sector, allowing them to operate as nano-motors and to transform the transmembrane electrochemical ion gradient into ATP or vice versa. Since archaea are rooted close to the origin of life, the A-ATP synthase is probably more similar in its composition and function to the "original" enzyme, invented by Nature billion years ago. On the contrary, the V-ATPases have acquired specific structural, functional and regulatory features during evolution. This review will summarize the current knowledge on the structure, mechanism and regulation of A-ATP synthases and V-ATPases. The importance of V-ATPase in pathophysiology of diseases will be discussed.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit complex responsible for acidifying intracellular organelles and is highly regulated. One of the regulatory subunits, subunit H, is encoded by the VMA13 gene in yeast and is composed of two domains, the N-terminal domain (amino acids (aa) 1-352) and the C-terminal domain (aa 353-478). The N-terminal domain is required for the activation of the complex, whereas the C-terminal domain is required for coupling ATP hydrolysis to proton translocation (Liu, M., Tarsio, M., Charsky, C. M., and Kane, P. M. (2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 36978-36985). Experiments with epitope-tagged copies of Vma13p revealed that there is only one copy of Vma13p/subunit H per V-ATPase complex. Analysis of the N-terminal domain shows that the first 179 amino acids are not required for the activation and full function of the V-ATPase complex and that the minimal region of Vma13p/subunit H capable of activating the V-ATPase is aa 180-353 of the N-terminal domain. Subunit H is expressed as two splice variants in mammals, and deletion of 18 amino acids in yeast Vma13p corresponding to the mammalian subunit H beta isoform results in reduced V-ATPase activity and significantly lower coupling of ATPase hydrolysis to proton translocation. Intriguingly, the yeast Vma13p mimicking the mammalian subunit H beta isoform is functionally equivalent to Vma13p lacking the entire C-terminal domain. These results suggest that the mammalian V-ATPase complexes with subunit H splice variant SFD-alpha or SFD-beta are likely to have different activities and may perform distinct cellular functions.

Abstract
The vacuolar ATPases (or V-ATPases) are ATP-driven proton pumps that function to both acidify intracellular compartments and to transport protons across the plasma membrane. Intracellular V-ATPases function in such normal cellular processes as receptor-mediated endocytosis, intracellular membrane traffic, prohormone processing, protein degradation and neurotransmitter uptake, as well as in disease processes, including infection by influenza and other viruses and killing of cells by anthrax and diphtheria toxin. Plasma membrane V-ATPases are important in such physiological processes as urinary acidification, bone resorption and sperm maturation as well as in human diseases, including osteopetrosis, renal tubular acidosis and tumor metastasis. V-ATPases are large multi-subunit complexes composed of a peripheral domain (V(1)) responsible for hydrolysis of ATP and an integral domain (V(0)) that carries out proton transport. Proton transport is coupled to ATP hydrolysis by a rotary mechanism. V-ATPase activity is regulated in vivo using a number of mechanisms, including reversible dissociation of the V(1) and V(0) domains, changes in coupling efficiency of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis and changes in pump density through reversible fusion of V-ATPase containing vesicles. V-ATPases are emerging as potential drug targets in treating a number of human diseases including osteoporosis and cancer.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (V-ATPases) are ATP-dependent proton pumps responsible for both acidification of intracellular compartments and, for certain cell types, proton transport across the plasma membrane. Intracellular V-ATPases function in both endocytic and intracellular membrane traffic, processing and degradation of macromolecules in secretory and digestive compartments, coupled transport of small molecules such as neurotransmitters and ATP and in the entry of pathogenic agents, including envelope viruses and bacterial toxins. V-ATPases are present in the plasma membrane of renal cells, osteoclasts, macrophages, epididymal cells and certain tumor cells where they are important for urinary acidification, bone resorption, pH homeostasis, sperm maturation and tumor cell invasion, respectively. The V-ATPases are composed of a peripheral domain (V(1)) that carries out ATP hydrolysis and an integral domain (V(0)) responsible for proton transport. V(1) contains eight subunits (A-H) while V(0) contains six subunits (a, c, c', c'', d and e). V-ATPases operate by a rotary mechanism in which ATP hydrolysis within V(1) drives rotation of a central rotary domain, that includes a ring of proteolipid subunits (c, c' and c''), relative to the remainder of the complex. Rotation of the proteolipid ring relative to subunit a within V(0) drives active transport of protons across the membrane. Two important mechanisms of regulating V-ATPase activity in vivo are reversible dissociation of the V(1) and V(0) domains and changes in coupling efficiency of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. This review focuses on recent advances in our lab in understanding the structure and regulation of the V-ATPases.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+) ATPases (V-ATPases) are large, multimeric proton pumps that, like the related family of F1F0 ATP synthases, employ a rotary mechanism. ATP hydrolysis by the peripheral V1 domain drives rotation of a rotary complex (the rotor) relative to the stationary part of the enzyme (the stator), leading to proton translocation through the integral V0 domain. One mechanism of regulating V-ATPase activity in vivo involves reversible dissociation of the V1 and V0 domains. Unlike the corresponding domains in F1F0, the dissociated V1 domain does not hydrolyze ATP, and the free V0 domain does not passively conduct protons. These properties are important to avoid generation of an uncoupled ATPase activity or an unregulated proton conductance upon dissociation of the complex in vivo. Previous results (Parra, K. J., Keenan, K. L., and Kane, P. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 21761-21767) showed that subunit H (part of the stator) inhibits ATP hydrolysis by free V1. To test the hypothesis that subunit H accomplishes this by bridging rotor and stator in free V1, cysteine-mediated cross-linking studies were performed. Unique cysteine residues were introduced over the surface of subunit H from yeast by site-directed mutagenesis and used as the site of attachment of the photo-activated cross-linking reagent maleimido benzophenone. After UV-activated cross-linking, cross-linked products were identified by Western blot using subunit-specific antibodies. The results indicate that the subunit H mutant S381C shows cross-linking between subunit H and subunit F (a rotor subunit) in the free V1 domain but not in the intact V1V0 complex. These results indicate that subunits H and F are proximal in free V1, supporting the hypothesis that subunit H inhibits free V1 by bridging the rotary and stator domains.

Abstract
The acidity of intracellular compartments and the extracellular environment is crucial to various cellular processes, including membrane trafficking, protein degradation, bone resorption and sperm maturation. At the heart of regulating acidity are the vacuolar (V-)ATPases--large, multisubunit complexes that function as ATP-driven proton pumps. Their activity is controlled by regulating the assembly of the V-ATPase complex or by the dynamic regulation of V-ATPase expression on membrane surfaces. The V-ATPases have been implicated in a number of diseases and, coupled with their complex isoform composition, represent attractive and potentially highly specific drug targets.

Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of the gene product encoded by open reading frame Rv1873 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been determined by single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (SIRAS) phasing techniques at 1.38 A resolution from monoclinic crystals with unit-cell parameters a = 33.44, b = 31.63, c = 53.19 A, beta = 90.8 degrees. The 16.2 kDa Rv1873 is a monomer that adopts a primarily alpha-helical fold with limited structural similarity to previously determined tertiary structures. It has been annotated as a conserved hypothetical protein of unknown function and is classified by the Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) database as belonging to COG5579. The three-dimensional structure of the Rv1873 gene product reveals limited similarity to a repeated motif that is found in a variety of other proteins. While not a novel fold, it serves as a model for orthologues predicted to be related by sequence and it is hoped that knowledge of the structure of Rv1873 will aid in determining a possible function for this protein.

Abstract
Bioenergetics and physiology of primary pumps have been revitalized by new insights into the mechanism of energizing biomembranes. Structural information is becoming available, and the three-dimensional structure of F-ATPase is being resolved. The growing understanding of the fundamental mechanism of energy coupling may revolutionize our view of biological processes. The F- and V-ATPases (vacuolar-type ATPase) exhibit a common mechanical design in which nucleotide-binding on the catalytic sector, through a cycle of conformation changes, drives the transmembrane passage of protons by turning a membrane-embedded rotor. This motor can run in forward or reverse directions, hydrolyzing ATP as it pumps protons uphill or creating ATP as protons flow downhill. In contrast to F-ATPases, whose primary function in eukaryotic cells is to form ATP at the expense of the proton-motive force (pmf), V-ATPases function exclusively as an ATP-dependent proton pump. The pmf generated by V-ATPases in organelles and membranes of eukaryotic cells is utilized as a driving force for numerous secondary transport processes. V- and F-ATPases have similar structure and mechanism of action, and several of their subunits evolved from common ancestors. Electron microscopy studies of V-ATPase revealed its general structure at low resolution. Recently, several structures of V-ATPase subunits, solved by X-ray crystallography with atomic resolution, were published. This, together with electron microscopy low-resolution maps of the whole complex, and biochemistry cross-linking experiments, allows construction of a structural model for a part of the complex that may be used as a working hypothesis for future research.

Abstract
Archaea are a heterogeneous group of microorganisms that often thrive under harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures, extreme pHs and high salinity. As other living cells, they use chemiosmotic mechanisms along with substrate level phosphorylation to conserve energy in form of ATP. Because some archaea are rooted close to the origin in the tree of life, these unusual mechanisms are considered to have developed very early in the history of life and, therefore, may represent first energy-conserving mechanisms. A key component in cellular bioenergetics is the ATP synthase. The enzyme from archaea represents a new class of ATPases, the A1A0 ATP synthases. They are composed of two domains that function as a pair of rotary motors connected by a central and peripheral stalk(s). The structure of the chemically-driven motor (A1) was solved by small-angle X-ray scattering in solution, and the structure of the first A1A0 ATP synthases was obtained recently by single particle analyses. These studies revealed novel structural features such as a second peripheral stalk and a collar-like structure. In addition, the membrane-embedded electrically-driven motor (A0) is very different in archaea with sometimes novel, exceptional subunit composition and coupling stoichiometries that may reflect the differences in energy-conserving mechanisms as well as adaptation to temperatures at or above 100 degrees C.

Abstract
V-ATPase is a multi-subunit membrane protein complex, it translocates protons across biological membranes, generating electrical and pH gradients which are used for varieties of cellular processes. V-ATPase is composed of two distinct sub-complexes: a membrane bound V0 sub-complex, composed of 6 different subunits, which is responsible for proton transport and a soluble cytosolic facing V1 sub-complex, composed of 8 different subunits which hydrolyse ATP. The two sub-complexes are held together via a flexible stator. One of the main features of eukaryotic V-ATPase is its ability to reversibly dissociate to its sub-complexes in response to changing cellular conditions, which arrest both proton translocation and ATP hydrolysis, suggesting a regulation function. Subunit C (vma5p in yeast) was shown by several biochemical, genetic and recent structural data to function as a flexible stator holding the two sectors of the complex together and regulating the reversible association/dissociation of the complex, partly via association with F-actin filaments. Structural features of subunit C that allow smooth energy conversion and interaction with actin and nucleotides are discussed.

Abstract
V-ATPases (vacuolar ATPases) are responsible for acidification of intracellular compartments and, in certain cases, proton transport across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. They are composed of a catalytic V1 sector, in which ATP hydrolysis takes place, and the Vo sector, which functions in proton conduction. The best established mechanism for regulating the V-ATPase activity in vivo involves reversible dissociation of the V1 and Vo domains, in which subunit C is intimately involved. In the last year, impressive progress has been made in elucidating the structure of the C subunit and its arrangement inside the V-ATPase. Nucleotide occupancy by subunit C, followed by conformational changes of this subunit has shed light on the mechanism of V-ATPase regulation.

Abstract
The yeast V-ATPase has emerged as an excellent model for other eukaryotic V-ATPases. In this review, recent biochemical and genomic studies of the yeast V-ATPase are described, with a focus on: 1) the role of V(1) subunit H in coupling ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping and 2) identification of the full set of yeast haploid deletion mutants that exhibit the pH and calcium-sensitive growth characteristic of loss of V-ATPase activity. The combination of "close-up" biochemical views of V-ATPase structure and mechanism and "geomic" views of its functional reach promises to provide new insights into the physiological of V-ATPases.

Abstract
V-type Na(+)-ATPase from Entercoccus hirae consists of nine kinds of subunits (NtpA(3), B(3), C(1), D(1), E(1-3), F(1-3), G(1), I(1), and K(10)) which are encoded by the ntp operon. The amino acid sequences of the major subunits, A, B, and K (proteolipid), were highly similar to those of A, B, and c subunits of eukaryotic V-ATPases, and those of beta, alpha, and c subunits of F-ATPases. We modeled the A and B subunits by homology modeling using the structure of beta and alpha subunits of F-ATPase, and obtained an atomic structure of NtpK ring by X-ray crystallography. Here we briefly summarize our current models of the whole structure and mechanism of the E. hirae V-ATPase.

Abstract
The H subunit of the yeast V-ATPase is an extended structure with two relatively independent domains, an N-terminal domain consisting of amino acids 1-348 and a C-terminal domain consisting of amino acids 352-478. We have expressed these two domains independently and together in a yeast strain lacking the H subunit (vma13Delta mutant). The N-terminal domain partially complements the growth defects of the mutant and supports approximately 25% of the wild-type Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity in isolated vacuolar vesicles, but surprisingly, this activity is both largely concanamycin-insensitive and uncoupled from proton transport. The C-terminal domain does not complement the growth defects, and supports no ATP hydrolysis or proton transport, even though it is recruited to the vacuolar membrane. Expression of both domains in a vma13Delta strain gives better complementation than either fragment alone and results in higher concanamycin-sensitive ATPase activity and ATP-driven proton pumping than the N-terminal domain alone. Thus, the two domains make complementary contributions to structural and functional coupling of the peripheral V(1) and membrane V(o) sectors of the V-ATPase, but this coupling does not require that they be joined covalently. The N-terminal domain alone is sufficient for activation of ATP hydrolysis in V(1), but the C-terminal domain is essential for proper communication between the V(1) and V(o) sectors.

Abstract
The plant V-ATPase is a protein complex of 13 different VHA-subunits and functions as ATP driven motor that electrogenically translocates H+ into endomembrane compartments. The central rotor extends into the hexameric head that is fixed by peripheral stators to an eccentric membrane domain. The localization and orientation of VHA-subunits of the head and peripheral stalk region were investigated by in vivo fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). To this end, VHA-E, VHA-G, VHA-H of the peripheral stalks as well as subunits VHA-A and VHA-B were C-terminally fused to cyan (CFP) and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). Protoplasts transfected with FRET-pairs of CFP-donor and YFP-acceptor fluorophores fused to VHA-subunits were analysed for FRET by laser scanning microscopy. The result of the C-termini mapping allows to refine the arrangement and interaction of the subunits within the V-ATPase complex in vivo. Furthermore, expression of fused VHA-E and VHA-H stimulated acidification of protoplast vacuoles, while other constructs had no major effect on vacuolar pH tentatively indicating a regulatory role of these subunits in plants.

Abstract
V-ATPases are membrane protein complexes that pump protons in the lumen of various subcellular compartments at the expense of ATP. Proton pumping is done by a rotary mechanism that requires a static connection between the membrane pumping domain (V(0)) and the extrinsic catalytic head (V(1)). This static connection is composed of several known subunits of the V-ATPase, but their location and topological relationships are still a matter of controversy. Here, we propose a model for the V-ATPase of Neurospora crassa on the basis of single-particle analysis by electron microscopy. Comparison of the resulting map to that of the A-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus allows the positioning of two subunits in the static connecting region that are unique to eukaryotic V-ATPases (C and H). These two subunits seem to be located on opposite sides of a semicircular arrangement of the peripheral connecting elements, suggesting a role in stabilizing the stator in V-ATPases.

Abstract
The ability of subunit C of eukaryotic V-ATPases to bind ADP and ATP is demonstrated by photoaffinity labeling and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Quantitation of the photoaffinity and the FCS data indicate that the ATP-analogues bind more weakly to subunit C than the ADP-analogues. Site-directed mutagenesis and N-terminal sequencing of subunit C from Arabidopsis (VHA-C) and yeast (Vma5p) have been used to map the C-terminal region of subunit C as the nucleotide-binding site. Tryptophan fluorescence quenching and decreased susceptibility to tryptic digestion of subunit C after binding of different nucleotides provides evidence for structural changes in this subunit caused by nucleotide-binding.

Abstract
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) has a crucial role in the vacuolar system of eukaryotic cells. It provides most of the energy required for transport systems that utilize the proton-motive force that is generated by ATP hydrolysis. Some, but not all, of the V-ATPase subunits are homologous to those of F-ATPase and the nonhomologous subunits determine the unique features of V-ATPase. We determined the crystal structure of V-ATPase subunit C (Vma5p), which does not show any homology with F-ATPase subunits, at 1.75 A resolution. The structural features suggest that subunit C functions as a flexible stator that holds together the catalytic and membrane sectors of the enzyme. A second crystal form that was solved at 2.9 A resolution supports the flexible nature of subunit C. These structures provide a framework for exploring the unique mechanistic features of V-ATPases.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are large, membrane bound, multisubunit protein complexes which function as ATP hydrolysis driven proton pumps. V-ATPases and related enzymes are found in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic organsims, the plasma membrane of specialized cells in higher eukaryotes, and the plasma membrane of prokaryotes. The proton pumping action of the vacuolar ATPase is involved in a variety of vital intra- and inter-cellular processes such as receptor mediated endocytosis, protein trafficking, active transport of metabolites, homeostasis and neurotransmitter release. This review summarizes recent progress in the structure determination of the vacuolar ATPase focusing on studies by transmission electron microscopy. A model of the subunit architecture of the vacuolar ATPase is presented which is based on the electron microscopic images and the available information from genetic, biochemical and biophysical experiments.

Abstract
HspBP1 belongs to a family of eukaryotic proteins recently identified as nucleotide exchange factors for Hsp70. We show that the S. cerevisiae ortholog of HspBP1, Fes1p, is required for efficient protein folding in the cytosol at 37 degrees C. The crystal structure of HspBP1, alone and complexed with part of the Hsp70 ATPase domain, reveals a mechanism for its function distinct from that of BAG-1 or GrpE, previously characterized nucleotide exchange factors of Hsp70. HspBP1 has a curved, all alpha-helical fold containing four armadillo-like repeats unlike the other nucleotide exchange factors. The concave face of HspBP1 embraces lobe II of the ATPase domain, and a steric conflict displaces lobe I, reducing the affinity for nucleotide. In contrast, BAG-1 and GrpE trigger a conserved conformational change in lobe II of the ATPase domain. Thus, nucleotide exchange on eukaryotic Hsp70 occurs through two distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
The F-, V-, and A-adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) represent a family of evolutionarily related ion pumps found in every living cell. They either function to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at the expense of an ion gradient or they act as primary ion pumps establishing transmembrane ion motive force at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. The A-, F-, and V-ATPases are rotary motor enzymes. Synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP taking place in the three catalytic sites of the membrane extrinsic domain is coupled to ion translocation across the single ion channel in the membrane-bound domain via rotation of a central part of the complex with respect to a static portion of the enzyme. This chapter reviews recent progress in the structure determination of several members of the family of F-, A-, and V-ATPases and our current understanding of the rotary mechanism of energy coupling.

Abstract
The structure of the proton-pumping vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) from bovine brain clathrin coated vesicles was analyzed by electron microscopy and single molecule image analysis. A three-dimensional structural model of the complex was calculated by the angular reconstitution method at a resolution of 27 A. Overall, the appearance of the V(0) and V(1) domains in the three-dimensional model of the intact bovine V-ATPase resembles the models of the isolated bovine V(0) and yeast V(1) domains determined previously. To determine the binding position of subunit H in the V-ATPase, electron microscopy and cysteine-mediated photochemical cross-linking were used. Difference maps calculated from projection images of intact bovine V-ATPase and a V-ATPase preparation in which the two H subunit isoforms were removed by treatment with cystine revealed less protein density at the bottom of the V(1) in the subunit H-depleted enzyme, suggesting that subunit H isoforms bind at the interface of the V(1) and V(0) domains. A comparison of three-dimensional models calculated for intact and subunit H-depleted enzyme indicated that at least one of the subunit H isoforms, although poorly resolved in the three-dimensional electron density, binds near the putative N-terminal domain of the a subunit of the V(0). For photochemical cross-linking, unique cysteine residues were introduced into the yeast V-ATPase B subunit at sites that were localized based on molecular modeling using the crystal structure of the mitochondrial F(1) domain. Cross-linking was performed using the photoactivatable sulfhydryl reagent 4-(N-maleimido)benzophenone. Cross-linking to subunit H was observed from two sites on subunit B (E494 and T501) predicted to be located on the outer surface of the subunit closest to the membrane. Results from both electron microscopy and cross-linking analysis thus place subunit H near the interface of the V(1) and V(0) domains and suggest a close structural similarity between the V-ATPases of yeast and mammals.

Abstract
Vma5p (subunit C) of the yeast V-ATPase was produced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Analysis of secondary structure by circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that Vma5p comprises 64% alpha-helix and 17% beta-sheet content. The molecular mass of this subunit, determined by gel filtration analysis and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), was approximately 51+/-4 kDa, indicating a high hydration level of the protein in solution. The radius of gyration and the maximum size of Vma5p were determined to be 3.74+/-0.03 and 12.5+/-0.1 nm, respectively. Using two independent ab initio approaches, the first low-resolution shape of the protein was determined. Vma5p is an elongated boot-shaped particle consisting of two distinct domains. Co-reconstitution of Vma5p to V1 without C from Manduca sexta resulted in a V1-Vma5p hybrid complex and a 20% increase in ATPase hydrolysis activity.

Abstract
The yeast V-ATPase belongs to a family of V-type ATPases present in all eucaryotic organisms. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the V-ATPase is localized to the membrane of the vacuole as well as the Golgi complex and endosomes. The V-ATPase brings about the acidification of these organelles by the transport of protons coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. In yeast, the V-ATPase is composed of 13 subunits consisting of a catalytic V1 domain of peripherally associated proteins and a proton-translocating V0 domain of integral membrane proteins. The regulatory subunit, Vma13p, was the first V-ATPase subunit to have its crystal structure determined. In addition to proteins forming the functional V-ATPase complex, three ER-localized proteins facilitate the assembly of the V0 subunits following their translation and insertion into the membrane of the ER. Homologues of the Vma21p assembly factor have been identified in many higher eukaryotes supporting a ubiquitous assembly pathway for this important enzyme complex.

Abstract
In the absence of a high-resolution structure for the vacuolar H+-ATPase, a number of approaches can yield valuable information about structure/function relationships in the enzyme. Electron microscopy can provide not only a representation of the overall architecture of the complex, but also a low-resolution map onto which structures solved for individually expressed subunits can be fitted. Here we review the possibilities for electron microscopy of the Saccharomyces V-ATPase and examine the suitability of V-ATPase subunits for expression in high yield prokaryotic systems, a key step towards high-resolution structural studies. We also review the role of experimentally-derived structural models in understanding structure/function relationships in the V-ATPase, with particular reference to the complex of proton-translocating 16 kDa proteolipids in the membrane domain of the V-ATPase. This model in turn makes testable predictions about the sites of binding of bafilomycins and the functional interactions between the proteolipid and the single-copy membrane subunit Vph1p, with implications for the constitution of the proton translocation pathway.

Abstract
The vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is one of the most fundamental enzymes in nature. It functions in almost every eukaryotic cell and energizes a wide variety of organelles and membranes. V-ATPase has a structure and mechanism of action similar to F-ATPase and several of their subunits probably evolved from common ancestors. In eukaryotic cells, F-ATPase is confined to the semiautonomous organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria, which contain their own genes that encode some of the F-ATPase subunits. In contrast to F-ATPases, whose primary function in eukaryotic cells is to form ATP at the expense of the protonmotive force (pmf), V-ATPases function exclusively as ATP-dependent proton pumps. The pmf generated by V-ATPases in organelles and membranes of eukaryotic cells is utilized as a driving force for numerous secondary transport processes. It was the survival of the yeast mutant without the active enzyme and yeast genetics that allowed the identification of genuine subunits of the V-ATPase. It also revealed special properties of individual subunits, factors that are involved in the enzyme's biogenesis and assembly, as well as the involvement of V-ATPase in the secretory pathway, endocytosis, and respiration. It may be the insect V-ATPase that unconventionally resides in the plasma membrane of their midgut, that will give the first structure resolution of this complex.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (or V-ATPases) are ATP-dependent proton pumps that function both to acidify intracellular compartments and to transport protons across the plasma membrane. Acidification of intracellular compartments is important for such processes as receptor-mediated endocytosis, intracellular trafficking, protein processing, and coupled transport. Plasma membrane V-ATPases function in renal acidification, bone resorption, pH homeostasis, and, possibly, tumor metastasis. This review will focus on work from our laboratories on the V-ATPases from mammalian clathrin-coated vesicles and from yeast. The V-ATPases are composed of two domains. The peripheral V1 domain has a molecular mass of 640 kDa and is composed of eight different subunits (subunits A-H) of molecular mass 70-13 kDa. The integral V0 domain, which has a molecular mass of 260 kDa, is composed of five different subunits (subunits a, d, c, c', and c'') of molecular mass 100-17 kDa. The V1 domain is responsible for ATP hydrolysis whereas the V0 domain is responsible for proton transport. Using a variety of techniques, including cysteine-mediated crosslinking and electron microscopy, we have defined both the overall shape of the V-ATPase and the V0 domain as well as the location of various subunits within the complex. We have employed site-directed and random mutagenesis to identify subunits and residues involved in nucleotide binding and hydrolysis, proton translocation, and the coupling of these two processes. We have also investigated the mechanism of regulation of the V-ATPase by reversible dissociation and the role of different subunits in this process.

Abstract
Plant cells are characterized by a highly active secretory system that includes the large central vacuole found in most differentiated tissues. The plant vacuolar H+-ATPase plays an essential role in maintaining the ionic and metabolic gradients across endomembranes, in activating transport processes and vesicle dynamics, and, hence, is indispensable for plant growth, development, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. The review summarizes recent advances in elucidating the structure, subunit composition, localization, and regulation of plant V-ATPase. Emerging knowledge on subunit isogenes from Arabidopsis and rice genomic sequences as well as from Mesembryanthemum illustrates another level of complexity, the regulation of isogene expression and function of subunit isoforms. To this end, the review attempts to define directions of future research on plant V-ATPase.

Abstract
The yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) is an excellent model for V-ATPases in all eukaryotic cells. Activity of the yeast V-ATPase is reversibly down-regulated by disassembly of the peripheral (V1) sector, which contains the ATP-binding sites, from the membrane (V0) sector, which contains the proton pore. A similar regulatory mechanism has been found in Manduca sexta and is believed to operate in other eukaryotes. We are interested in the mechanism of reversible disassembly and its implications for V-ATPase structure. In this review, we focus on (1) characterization of the yeast V-ATPase stalk subunits, which form the interface between V1 and V0, (2) potential mechanisms of silencing ATP hydrolytic activity in disassembled V1 sectors, and (3) the structure and function of RAVE, a recently discovered complex that regulates V-ATPase assembly.

Abstract
The overall structure of V-ATPase complexes resembles that of F-type ATPases, but the stalk region is different and more complex. Database searches followed by sequence analysis of the five water-soluble stalk region subunits C-G revealed that (i) to date V-ATPases are found in 16 bacterial species, (ii) bacterial V-ATPases are closer to archaeal A-ATPases than to eukaryotic V-ATPases, and (iii) different groups of bacterial V-ATPases exist. Inconsistencies in the nomenclature of types and subunits are addressed. Attempts to assign subunit positions in V-ATPases based on biochemical experiments, chemical cross-linking, and electron microscopy are discussed. A structural model for prokaryotic and eukaryotic V-ATPases is proposed. The prokaryotic V-ATPase is considered to have a central stalk between headpiece and membrane flanked by two peripheral stalks. The eukaryotic V-ATPases have one additional peripheral stalk.

Abstract
V1-ATPase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was purified via a FLAG affinity tag introduced into the N terminus of the G subunit. The preparation migrated as a single band in native gel electrophoresis and contained subunits ABCDEFGH (with subunit C present at substoichiometric amounts) as determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The initial specific Ca-ATPase activity was approximately 6 micromol/min/mg. The structure of the yeast V1-ATPase was studied by electron microscopy of negatively stained and frozen hydrated samples. A 25-A resolution three-dimensional model of the complex was calculated from two-dimensional projections by the angular reconstitution technique. The model shows six elongated densities arranged in pseudo-3-fold symmetry around a large central cavity. At the top of the molecule, various protrusions can be seen. At the bottom of the complex, two large masses are visible that are connected to the main body of the molecule. Comparison of the yeast V1 structure with the structure of the intact V1V0-ATPase from bovine brain clathrin-coated vesicles (Wilkens, S., Vasilyeva, E., and Forgac, M. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 31804-31810) indicates that the structure of the isolated V1 from yeast is very similar to the structure of the V1 domain in the intact V-ATPase complex.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (or V-ATPases) are a family of ATP-dependent proton pumps responsible for acidification of intracellular compartments and, in certain cases, proton transport across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. They are multisubunit complexes composed of a peripheral domain (V(1)) responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral domain (V(0)) responsible for proton translocation. Based upon their structural similarity to the F(1)F(0) ATP synthases, the V-ATPases are thought to operate by a rotary mechanism in which ATP hydrolysis in V(1) drives rotation of a ring of proteolipid subunits in V(0). This review is focused on the current structural knowledge of the V-ATPases as it relates to the mechanism of ATP-driven proton translocation.

Abstract
Nef is an accessory protein of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) that is required for efficient viral infectivity and pathogenicity. It decreases the expression of CD4 on the surface of infected cells. V1H is the regulatory subunit H of the vacuolar membrane ATPase (V-ATPase). Previously, the interaction between Nef and V1H has been found to facilitate the internalization of CD4, suggesting that V1H could connect Nef to the endocytic machinery. In this study, we demonstrate that V1H binds to the C-terminal flexible loop in Nef from HIV-1 and to the medium chain (mu2) of the adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) in vitro and in vivo. The interaction sites of V1H and mu2 were mapped to a central region in V1H from positions 133 to 363, which contains 4 armadillo repeats, and to the N-terminal adaptin-binding domain in mu2 from positions 1 to 145. Fusing Nef to V1H reproduced the appropriate trafficking of Nef. This chimera internalized CD4 even in the absence of the C-terminal flexible loop in Nef. Finally, blocking the expression of V1H decreased the enhancement of virion infectivity by Nef. Thus, V1H can function as an adaptor for interactions between Nef and AP-2.
