Abstract
Functional genomic strategies have become fundamental for annotating gene function and regulatory networks. Here, we combined functional genomics with proteomics by quantifying protein abundances in a genome-scale knockout library in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. We find that global protein expression is driven by a complex interplay of (1) general biological properties, including translation rate, protein turnover, the formation of protein complexes, growth rate, and genome architecture, followed by (2) functional properties, such as the connectivity of a protein in genetic, metabolic, and physical interaction networks. Moreover, we show that functional proteomics complements current gene annotation strategies through the assessment of proteome profile similarity, protein covariation, and reverse proteome profiling. Thus, our study reveals principles that govern protein expression and provides a genome-spanning resource for functional annotation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Vacuolar H+-ATP complex (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit protein complex required for acidification of intracellular compartments. At least five different factors are known to be essential for its assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Genetic defects in four of these V-ATPase assembly factors show overlapping clinical features, including steatotic liver disease and mild hypercholesterolemia. An exception is the assembly factor vacuolar ATPase assembly integral membrane protein (VMA21), whose X-linked mutations lead to autophagic myopathy. APPROACH AND RESULTS Here, we report pathogenic variants in VMA21 in male patients with abnormal protein glycosylation that result in mild cholestasis, chronic elevation of aminotransferases, elevation of (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and steatosis in hepatocytes. We also show that the VMA21 variants lead to V-ATPase misassembly and dysfunction. As a consequence, lysosomal acidification and degradation of phagocytosed materials are impaired, causing lipid droplet (LD) accumulation in autolysosomes. Moreover, VMA21 deficiency triggers ER stress and sequestration of unesterified cholesterol in lysosomes, thereby activating the sterol response element-binding protein-mediated cholesterol synthesis pathways. CONCLUSIONS Together, our data suggest that impaired lipophagy, ER stress, and increased cholesterol synthesis lead to LD accumulation and hepatic steatosis. V-ATPase assembly defects are thus a form of hereditary liver disease with implications for the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
Candida albicans is a fungus that is a commensal organism and a member of the normal human microbiota. It has the ability to transition into an opportunistic invasive pathogen. Attributes that support pathogenesis include secretion of virulence-associated proteins, hyphal formation, and biofilm formation. These processes are supported by secretion, as defined in the broad context of membrane trafficking. In this review, we examine the role of secretory pathways in Candida virulence, with a focus on the model opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans.

Abstract
Background Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is one of the most widely used anionic alkyl sulfate surfactants. Toxicological information on SDS is accumulating, however, mechanisms of SDS toxicity regulation remain poorly understood. In this study, the relationship between the SDS-sensitive mutants and their intracellular ROS levels has been investigated. Results Through a genome-scale screen, we have identified 108 yeast single-gene deletion mutants that are sensitive to 0.03% SDS. These genes were predominantly related to the cellular processes of metabolism, cell cycle and DNA processing, cellular transport, transport facilities and transport routes, transcription and the protein with binding function or cofactor requirement (structural or catalytic). Measurement of the intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) levels of these SDS-sensitive mutants showed that about 79% of SDS-sensitive mutants accumulated significantly higher intracellular ROS levels than the wild-type cells under SDS stress. Moreover, SDS could generate oxidative damage and up-regulate several antioxidant defenses genes, and some of the SDS-sensitive genes were involved in this process. Conclusion This study provides insight on yeast genes involved in SDS tolerance and the elevated intracellular ROS caused by SDS stress, which is a potential way to understand the detoxification mechanisms of SDS by yeast cells.

Abstract
Tom Stevens' lab has explored the subunit composition and assembly of the yeast V-ATPase for more than 30 years. Early studies helped establish yeast as the predominant model system for study of V-ATPase proton pumps and led to the discovery of protein splicing of the V-ATPase catalytic subunit. The Vma- phenotype, characteristic of loss-of-V-ATPase activity in yeast was key in determining the enzyme's subunit composition via yeast genetics. V-ATPase subunit composition proved to be highly conserved among eukaryotes. Genetic screens for new vma mutants led to identification of a set of dedicated V-ATPase assembly factors and helped unravel the complex pathways for V-ATPase assembly. In later years, exploration of the evolutionary history of several V-ATPase subunits provided new information about the enzyme's structure and function. This review highlights V-ATPase work in the Stevens' lab between 1987 and 2017.

Abstract
In yeast, the vacuolar proton-pumping ATPase (V-ATPase) acidifies vacuoles to maintain pH of cytoplasm. Yeast cells lacking V-ATPase activity, due to a disruption of any VMA (vacuolar membrane ATPase) gene, remain viable but demonstrate growth defects. Although it has been suggested that VMA genes are critical for phospholipid biosynthesis, the link between VMA genes and phospholipid biosynthesis is still uncertain. Here, we found that cells lacking Vma3p, one of the major V-ATPase assembly genes, had a growth defect in the absence of inositol, suggesting that Vma3p is important in phospholipid biosynthesis. Through real-time PCR, we found that cells lacking Vma3p down-regulated HXK2 expression. Furthermore, acetic acid sensitivity assay showed that cells lacking Vma3p were more sensitive to acetic acid than WT cells. HXK2 encodes hexokinase 2 which can phosphorylate glucose during phospholipid biosynthesis. Since cells lacking HXK2 are sensitive to acetic acid and this is an indicator of programmed cell death, our observations suggest that Vma3p plays an important role in programmed cell death. Taken together, we have proposed a working model to describe how Vma3p protects cells against apoptosis through the regulation of HXK2 expression.

Abstract
AIM V-ATPase is a conservative multi-subunit enzyme in eukaryotes and modulates several cellular responses. This study aimed to illustrate the roles of Vma5 in vacuolar function, oxidative stress response, calcium homeostasis, autophagy and virulence. MATERIALS & METHODS The vma5Δ/Δ mutant was obtained using PCR-mediated homologous recombination. The functions of Vma5 were investigated by a series of biochemical and systemic infection methods. RESULTS Disruption of VMA5 led to growth inhibition, vacuolar dysfunction, disturbance of calcium homeostasis and inhibition of calcium-related oxidative stress response. Furthermore, its deletion caused defects in autophagy completion and hyphal development, and resulted in attenuated Candida albicans virulence. CONCLUSION Our findings provide new insights into V-ATPase functions in C. albicans, and reveal a potential candidate for development of antifungal drugs.

Genes Dev 2017; 30:2724-2736. [PMID: 28087716 PMCID: PMC5238731 DOI: 10.1101/gad.290460.116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2016] [Accepted: 12/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Here, Cheng et al. present data from Tetrahymena that highlight a division of labor among ciliate piggyBac-derived genes, which carry out mutually exclusive categories of excision events mediated by either transposon-like features or RNA-directed heterochromatin. Ciliated protozoans perform extreme forms of programmed somatic DNA rearrangement during development. The model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila removes 34% of its germline micronuclear genome from somatic macronuclei by excising thousands of internal eliminated sequences (IESs), a process that shares features with transposon excision. Indeed, piggyBac transposon-derived genes are necessary for genome-wide IES excision in both Tetrahymena (TPB2 [Tetrahymena piggyBac-like 2] and LIA5) and Paramecium tetraurelia (PiggyMac). T. thermophila has at least three other piggyBac-derived genes: TPB1, TPB6, and TPB7. Here, we show that TPB1 and TPB6 excise a small, distinct set of 12 unusual IESs that disrupt exons. TPB1-deficient cells complete mating, but their progeny exhibit slow growth, giant vacuoles, and osmotic shock sensitivity due to retention of an IES in the vacuolar gene DOP1 (Dopey domain-containing protein). Unlike most IESs, TPB1-dependent IESs have piggyBac-like terminal inverted motifs that are necessary for excision. Transposon-like excision mediated by TPB1 and TPB6 provides direct evidence for a transposon origin of not only IES excision machinery but also IESs themselves. Our study highlights a division of labor among ciliate piggyBac-derived genes, which carry out mutually exclusive categories of excision events mediated by either transposon-like features or RNA-directed heterochromatin.

Abstract
Yeast AP-1 transcription factor (Yap1p) and the enigmatic oxidoreductases Oye2p and Oye3p are involved in counteracting lipid oxidants and their unsaturated breakdown products. In order to uncover the response to linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LoaOOH) and the roles of Oye2p, Oye3p and Yap1p, we carried out proteomic analysis of the homozygous deletion mutants oye3Δ, oye2Δ and yap1Δ alongside the diploid parent strain BY4743. The findings demonstrate that deletion of YAP1 narrowed the response to LoaOOH, as the number of proteins differentially expressed in yap1Δ was 70% of that observed in BY4743. The role of Yap1p in regulating the major yeast peroxiredoxin Tsa1p was demonstrated by the decreased expression of Tsa1p in yap1Δ. The levels of Ahp1p and Hsp31p, previously shown to be regulated by Yap1p, were increased in LoaOOH-treated yap1Δ, indicating their expression is also regulated by another transcription factor(s). Relative to BY4743, protein expression differed in oye3Δ and oye2Δ under LoaOOH, underscored by superoxide dismutase (Sod1p), multiple heat shock proteins (Hsp60p, Ssa1p, and Sse1p), the flavodoxin-like protein Pst2p and the actin stabiliser tropomyosin (Tpm1p). Proteins associated with glycolysis were increased in all strains following treatment with LoaOOH. Together, the dataset reveals, for the first time, the yeast proteomic response to LoaOOH, highlighting the significance of carbohydrate metabolism, as well as distinction between the roles of Oye3p, Oye2p and Yap1p.

Abstract
Disorders of Golgi homeostasis form an emerging group of genetic defects. The highly heterogeneous clinical spectrum is not explained by our current understanding of the underlying cell-biological processes in the Golgi. Therefore, uncovering genetic defects and annotating gene function are challenging. Exome sequencing in a family with three siblings affected by abnormal Golgi glycosylation revealed a homozygous missense mutation, c.92T>C (p.Leu31Ser), in coiled-coil domain containing 115 (CCDC115), the function of which is unknown. The same mutation was identified in three unrelated families, and in one family it was compound heterozygous in combination with a heterozygous deletion of CCDC115. An additional homozygous missense mutation, c.31G>T (p.Asp11Tyr), was found in a family with two affected siblings. All individuals displayed a storage-disease-like phenotype involving hepatosplenomegaly, which regressed with age, highly elevated bone-derived alkaline phosphatase, elevated aminotransferases, and elevated cholesterol, in combination with abnormal copper metabolism and neurological symptoms. Two individuals died of liver failure, and one individual was successfully treated by liver transplantation. Abnormal N- and mucin type O-glycosylation was found on serum proteins, and reduced metabolic labeling of sialic acids was found in fibroblasts, which was restored after complementation with wild-type CCDC115. PSI-BLAST homology detection revealed reciprocal homology with Vma22p, the yeast V-ATPase assembly factor located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Human CCDC115 mainly localized to the ERGIC and to COPI vesicles, but not to the ER. These data, in combination with the phenotypic spectrum, which is distinct from that associated with defects in V-ATPase core subunits, suggest a more general role for CCDC115 in Golgi trafficking. Our study reveals CCDC115 deficiency as a disorder of Golgi homeostasis that can be readily identified via screening for abnormal glycosylation in plasma.

Abstract
The vacuoles play important roles in cellular homeostasis and their functions include the digestion of cytoplasmic material and organelles derived from autophagy. Conserved nutrient signaling pathways regulate vacuolar function and autophagy, ensuring normal cell and organismal development and aging. Recent evidence implicates sphingolipids in the modulation of these processes, but the impact of ceramide signaling on vacuolar dynamics and autophagy remains largely unknown. Here, we show that yeast cells lacking Isc1p, an orthologue of mammalian neutral sphingomyelinase type 2, exhibit vacuolar fragmentation and dysfunctions, namely decreased Pep4p-mediated proteolysis and V-ATPase activity, which impairs vacuolar acidification. Moreover, these phenotypes are suppressed by downregulation of the ceramide-activated protein phosphatase Sit4p. The isc1Δ cells also exhibit defective Cvt and vesicular trafficking in a Sit4p-dependent manner, ultimately contributing to a reduced autophagic flux. Importantly, these phenotypes are also suppressed by downregulation of the nutrient signaling kinase TORC1, which is known to inhibit Sit4p and autophagy, or Sch9p. These results support a model in which Sit4p functions downstream of Isc1p in a TORC1-independent, ceramide-dependent signaling branch that impairs vacuolar function and vesicular trafficking, leading to autophagic defects in yeast.

J Biol Chem 2015; 290:27511-23.

Abstract
The RAVE complex (regulator of the H(+)-ATPase of vacuolar and endosomal membranes) is required for biosynthetic assembly and glucose-stimulated reassembly of the yeast vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase). Yeast RAVE contains three subunits: Rav1, Rav2, and Skp1. Rav1 is the largest subunit, and it binds Rav2 and Skp1 of RAVE; the E, G, and C subunits of the V-ATPase peripheral V1 sector; and Vph1 of the membrane Vo sector. We identified Rav1 regions required for interaction with its binding partners through deletion analysis, co-immunoprecipitation, two-hybrid assay, and pulldown assays with expressed proteins. We find that Skp1 binding requires sequences near the C terminus of Rav1, V1 subunits E and C bind to a conserved region in the C-terminal half of Rav1, and the cytosolic domain of Vph1 binds near the junction of the Rav1 N- and C-terminal halves. In contrast, Rav2 binds to the N-terminal domain of Rav1, which can be modeled as a double β-propeller. Only the V1 C subunit binds to both Rav1 and Rav2. Using GFP-tagged RAVE subunits in vivo, we demonstrate glucose-dependent association of RAVE with the vacuolar membrane, consistent with its role in glucose-dependent V-ATPase assembly. It is known that V1 subunit C localizes to the V1-Vo interface in assembled V-ATPase complexes and is important in regulated disassembly of V-ATPases. We propose that RAVE cycles between cytosol and vacuolar membrane in a glucose-dependent manner, positioning V1 and V0 subcomplexes and orienting the V1 C subunit to promote assembly.

Abstract
In plants, vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) activity acidifies both the trans-Golgi network/early endosome (TGN/EE) and the vacuole. This dual V-ATPase function has impeded our understanding of how the pH homeostasis within the plant TGN/EE controls exo- and endocytosis. Here, we show that the weak V-ATPase mutant deetiolated3 (det3) displayed a pH increase in the TGN/EE, but not in the vacuole, strongly impairing secretion and recycling of the brassinosteroid receptor and the cellulose synthase complexes to the plasma membrane, in contrast to mutants lacking tonoplast-localized V-ATPase activity only. The brassinosteroid insensitivity and the cellulose deficiency defects in det3 were tightly correlated with reduced Golgi and TGN/EE motility. Thus, our results provide strong evidence that acidification of the TGN/EE, but not of the vacuole, is indispensable for functional secretion and recycling in plants.

Abstract
Reversible disassembly of their V1 and Vo complexes is a regulatory mechanism of V-ATPases as had been shown by in vitro experiments. Our in vivo results indicate that not the whole V1 complex, but only its subunit C, dissociates into the yeast cytosol.

Abstract
The extent of the innate immune response is regulated by many positively and negatively acting signaling proteins. This allows for proper activation of innate immunity to fight infection while ensuring that the response is limited to prevent unwanted complications. Thus mutations in innate immune regulators can lead to immune dysfunction or to inflammatory diseases such as arthritis or atherosclerosis. To identify novel innate immune regulators that could affect infectious or inflammatory disease, we have taken a comparative genomics RNAi screening approach in which we inhibit orthologous genes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and murine macrophages, expecting that genes with evolutionarily conserved function also will regulate innate immunity in humans. Here we report the results of an RNAi screen of approximately half of the C. elegans genome, which led to the identification of many candidate genes that regulate innate immunity in C. elegans and mouse macrophages. One of these novel conserved regulators of innate immunity is the mRNA splicing regulator Eftud2, which we show controls the alternate splicing of the MyD88 innate immunity signaling adaptor to modulate the extent of the innate immune response.

Abstract
The vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is an ATP-driven proton pump essential to the function of eukaryotic cells. Its cytoplasmic V1 domain is an ATPase, normally coupled to membrane-bound proton pump Vo via a rotary mechanism. How these asymmetric motors are coupled remains poorly understood. Low energy status can trigger release of V1 from the membrane and curtail ATP hydrolysis. To investigate the molecular basis for these processes, we have carried out cryo-electron microscopy three-dimensional reconstruction of deactivated V1 from Manduca sexta. In the resulting model, three peripheral stalks that are parts of the mechanical stator of the V-ATPase are clearly resolved as unsupported filaments in the same conformations as in the holoenzyme. They are likely therefore to have inherent stiffness consistent with a role as flexible rods in buffering elastic power transmission between the domains of the V-ATPase. Inactivated V1 adopted a homogeneous resting state with one open active site adjacent to the stator filament normally linked to the H subunit. Although present at 1:1 stoichiometry with V1, both recombinant subunit C reconstituted with V1 and its endogenous subunit H were poorly resolved in three-dimensional reconstructions, suggesting structural heterogeneity in the region at the base of V1 that could indicate positional variability. If the position of H can vary, existing mechanistic models of deactivation in which it binds to and locks the axle of the V-ATPase rotary motor would need to be re-evaluated. Dissociation of vacuolar H+-ATPase domains deactivates its V1 motor. V1 has one “open” catalytic site linked to the stator filament bound by subunit H. Movement of subunit H to prevent rotary catalysis is possible. Three stator filaments project from deactivated V1, indicating inherent stiffness. This work gives new insight into energetic coupling and control in V-ATPases.

Abstract
Several nutrient permeases have been identified in yeast, which combine a transport and receptor function, and are called transceptors. The Gap1 general amino acid permease and the Mep2 ammonium permease mediate rapid activation by amino acids and by ammonium, respectively, of the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway in nitrogen-starved cells. Their mode of action is not well understood. Both proteins are subject to complex controls governing their intracellular trafficking. Using a split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid screen with Gap1 or Mep2 as bait, we identified proteins putatively interacting with Gap1 and/or Mep2. They are involved in glycosylation, the secretory pathway, sphingolipid biosynthesis, cell wall biosynthesis and other processes. For several candidate interactors, determination of transport and signaling capacity, as well as localization of Gap1 or Mep2 in the corresponding deletion strains, confirmed a functional interaction with Gap1 and/or Mep2. Also common interacting proteins were identified. Transport and signaling were differentially affected in specific deletion strains, clearly separating the two functions of the transceptors and confirming that signaling does not require transport. We identified two new proteins, Bsc6 and Yir014w, that affect trafficking or downregulation of Gap1. Deletion of EGD2, YNL024c or SPC2 inactivates Gap1 transport and signaling, while its plasma membrane level appears normal.. Vma4 is required for Mep2 expression, while Gup1 appears to be required for proper distribution of Mep2 over the plasma membrane. Some of the interactions were confirmed by GST pull-down assay, using the C-terminal tail of Gap1 or Mep2 expressed in E.coli. Our results reveal the effectiveness of split-ubiquitin two-hybrid screening for identification of proteins functionally interacting with membrane proteins. They provide several candidate proteins involved in the transport and signaling function or in the complex trafficking control of the Gap1 and Mep2 transceptors.

Abstract
2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), an antibiotic produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens, has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity, inhibiting organisms ranging from viruses, bacteria, and fungi to higher plants and mammalian cells. The biosynthesis and regulation of 2,4-DAPG in P. fluorescens are well described, but the mode of action against target organisms is poorly understood. As a first step to elucidate the mechanism, we screened a deletion library of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in broth and agar medium supplemented with 2,4-DAPG. We identified 231 mutants that showed increased sensitivity to 2,4-DAPG under both conditions, including 22 multidrug resistance-related mutants. Three major physiological functions correlated with an increase in sensitivity to 2,4-DAPG: membrane function, reactive oxygen regulation, and cell homeostasis. Physiological studies with wild-type yeast validated the results of the mutant screens. The chemical-genetic fitness profile of 2,4-DAPG resembled those of menthol, sodium azide, and hydrogen peroxide determined in previous high-throughput screening studies. Collectively, these findings indicate that 2,4-DAPG acts on multiple basic cellular processes.

Abstract
The function of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) enzyme complex is to acidify organelles; this process is critical for a variety of cellular processes and has implications in human disease. There are five accessory proteins that assist in assembly of the membrane portion of the complex, the V(0) domain. To identify additional elements that affect V-ATPase assembly, trafficking, or enzyme activity, we performed a genome-wide enhancer screen in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with two mutant assembly factor alleles, VMA21 with a dysfunctional ER retrieval motif (vma21QQ) and vma21QQ in combination with voa1Δ, a nonessential assembly factor. These alleles serve as sensitized genetic backgrounds that have reduced V-ATPase enzyme activity. Genes were identified from a variety of cellular pathways including a large number of trafficking-related components; we characterized two redundant gene pairs, HPH1/HPH2 and ORM1/ORM2. Both sets demonstrated synthetic growth defects in combination with the vma21QQ allele. A loss of either the HPH or ORM gene pairs alone did not result in a decrease in vacuolar acidification or defects in V-ATPase assembly. While the Hph proteins are not required for V-ATPase function, Orm1p and Orm2p are required for full V-ATPase enzyme function. Consistent with the documented role of the Orm proteins in sphingolipid regulation, we have found that inhibition of sphingolipid synthesis alleviates Orm-related growth defects.

Abstract
The proton pumping activity of the eukaryotic vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is regulated by a unique mechanism that involves reversible enzyme dissociation. In yeast, under conditions of nutrient depletion, the soluble catalytic V(1) sector disengages from the membrane integral V(o), and at the same time, both functional units are silenced. Notably, during enzyme dissociation, a single V(1) subunit, C, is released into the cytosol. The affinities of the other V(1) and V(o) subunits for subunit C are therefore of particular interest. The C subunit crystal structure shows that the subunit is elongated and dumbbell-shaped with two globular domains (C(head) and C(foot)) separated by a flexible helical neck region (Drory, O., Frolow, F., and Nelson, N. (2004) EMBO Rep. 5, 1148-1152). We have recently shown that subunit C is bound in the V(1)-V(o) interface where the subunit is in contact with two of the three peripheral stators (subunit EG heterodimers): one via C(head) and one via C(foot) (Zhang, Z., Zheng, Y., Mazon, H., Milgrom, E., Kitagawa, N., Kish-Trier, E., Heck, A. J., Kane, P. M., and Wilkens, S. (2008) J. Biol. Chem. 283, 35983-35995). In vitro, however, subunit C binds only one EG heterodimer (Féthière, J., Venzke, D., Madden, D. R., and Böttcher, B. (2005) Biochemistry 44, 15906-15914), implying that EG has different affinities for the two domains of the C subunit. To determine which subunit C domain binds EG with high affinity, we have generated C(head) and C(foot) and characterized their interaction with subunit EG heterodimer. Our findings indicate that the high affinity site for EGC interaction is C(head). In addition, we provide evidence that the EGC(head) interaction greatly stabilizes EG heterodimer.

Abstract
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was regarded as a key enzyme promoting the fiber cell elongation in cotton (Gossypium hirsuturm L.) through regulating turgor-driven pressure involved in polarity expansion of single cell fiber. The DET3, a V-ATPase subunit C, plays an important role in assembling subunits and regulating the enzyme activity, and is involved in Brassinosteroid-induced cell elongation. To analyze the function of GhDET3 on the elongation of cotton fibers, seven candidates of ESTs were screened and contigged for a 5'-upstream sequence, and the 3'-RACE technique was used to clone the 3'-downstream sequence for the full length of GhDET3 gene. The full length of the target clone was 1,340 bp, including a 10 bp 5'-UTR, an ORF of 1,134 bp, and a 196 bp 3'-UTR. This cDNA sequence encoded a polypeptide of 377 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 43 kDa and a basic isoelectric point of 5.58. Furthermore, a length of 3,410 bp sequence from genomic DNA of GhDET3 was also cloned by PCR. The deduced amino acid sequence had a high homology with DET3 from Arabidopsis, rice, and maize. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the GhDET3 expression pattern was ubiquitous in all the tissues and organs detected. The result also revealed that the accumulation of GhDET3 mRNA reached the highest profile at the fiber elongation stage in 12 DPA (days post anthesis) fibers, compared with the lowest level at the fiber initiation stage in 0 DPA ovules (with fibers). The transcript accumulation in fibers and ovules shared the similar variation tendency. In addition, in vitro ovule culture experiment demonstrated that exogenous 24-EBL treatment to 4 DPA ovules (with fibers) was capable of increasing the expression level of GhDET3, and the mRNA accumulation of GhDET3 increased in transgenic FBP7::GhDET2 cotton fibers in vivo. These results indicate that GhDET3 gene plays a crucial role in cotton fiber elongation.

Abstract
We undertook a screen to isolate determinants of drug resistance in fission yeast and identified two genes that, when mutated, result in sensitivity to a range of structurally unrelated compounds, some of them commonly used in the clinic. One gene, rav1, encodes the homologue of a budding yeast protein which regulates the assembly of the vacuolar ATPase. The second gene, lac1, encodes a homologue of genes that are required for ceramide synthesis. Both mutants are sensitive to the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin, and using the naturally fluorescent properties of this compound, we found that both rav1 and lac1 mutations result in an increased accumulation of the drug in cells. The multidrug-sensitive phenotype of rav1 mutants can be rescued by up-regulation of the lag1 gene which encodes a homologue of lac1, whereas overexpression of either lac1 or lag1 confers multidrug resistance on wild-type cells. These data suggest that changing the amount of ceramide synthase activity in cells can influence innate drug resistance. The function of Rav1 appears to be conserved, as we show that SpRav1 is part of a RAVE-like complex in fission yeast and that loss of rav1 results in defects in vacuolar (H(+))-ATPase activity. Thus, we conclude that loss of normal V-ATPase function results in an increased sensitivity of Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells to drugs. The rav1 and lac1 genes are conserved in both higher eukaryotes and various pathogenic fungi. Thus, our data could provide the basis for strategies to sensitize tumor cells or drug-resistant pathogenic fungi to drugs.

Abstract
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a serious tropical disease that affects approximately 500 thousand people worldwide every year. In the Americas, VL is caused by the parasite Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi mainly transmitted by the bite of the sand fly vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. Despite recent advances in the study of interaction between Leishmania and sand flies, very little is known about sand fly protein expression profiles. Understanding how the expression of proteins may be affected by blood feeding and/or presence of parasite in the vector's midgut might allow us to devise new strategies for controlling the spread of leishmaniasis. In this work, we report the characterization of a vacuolar ATPase subunit C from L. longipalpis by screening of a midgut cDNA library with a 220 bp fragment identified by means of differential display reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis. The expression of the gene varies along insect development and is upregulated in males and bloodfed L. longipalpis, compared to unfed flies.

Abstract
The RAVE complex is required for stable assembly of the yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) during both biosynthesis of the enzyme and regulated reassembly of disassembled V(1) and V(0) sectors. It is not yet known how RAVE effects V-ATPase assembly. Previous work has shown that V(1) peripheral or stator stalk subunits E and G are critical for binding of RAVE to cytosolic V(1) complexes, suggesting that RAVE may play a role in docking of the V(1) peripheral stalk to the V(0) complex at the membrane. Here we provide evidence for an interaction between the RAVE complex and V(1) subunit C, another subunit that has been assigned to the peripheral stalk. The C subunit is unique in that it is released from both V(1) and V(0) sectors during disassembly, suggesting that subunit C may control the regulated assembly of the V-ATPase. Mutants lacking subunit C have assembly phenotypes resembling that of RAVE mutants. Both are able to assemble V(1)/V(0) complexes in vivo, but these complexes are highly unstable in vitro, and V-ATPase activity is extremely low. We show that in the absence of the RAVE complex, subunit C is not able to stably assemble with the vacuolar ATPase. Our data support a model where RAVE, through its interaction with subunit C, is facilitating V(1) peripheral stalk subunit interactions with V(0) during V-ATPase assembly.

Abstract
V-ATPase plays important roles in controlling the extra- and intra-cellular pH in eukaryotic cell, which is most crucial for cellular processes. V-ATPases are composed of a peripheral V(1) domain responsible for ATP hydrolysis and integral V(0) domain responsible for proton translocation. Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption and relate to many common lytic bone disorders such as osteoporosis, bone aseptic loosening, and tumor-induced bone loss. This review summarizes the structure and function of V-ATPase and its subunit, the role of V-ATPase subunits in osteoclast function, V-ATPase inhibitors for osteoclast function, and highlights the importance of V-ATPase as a potential prime target for anti-resorptive agents.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinomas represent more than 90% of all head and neck cancers, and comprise about 4% of all malignancies in western countries. Tumor cell mobility related to increasing intracellular pH results in impaired proliferation and metastasis, suggesting an important role of pH regulation in solid cancer tumorigenesis. The mechanism of physiological pH regulation has been shown to be activated in several solid tumors through constitutive activation of the ATPase complex. How cells regulate this mechanism has not been elucidated in human cancer in detail. The present study, using expression profiling by cDNA array analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, identified the V-ATPase system as a significant regulatory mechanism. ATP6V1C1 was the most strongly over-expressed gene in oral squamous cell carcinoma at the mRNA level compared to other genes of the V-ATPase complex. These findings provide evidence that intracellular pH regulation is mainly controlled by expression of a single gene, ATP6V1C1, notwithstanding the possible action of other secondary regulatory factors.

Abstract
A set of homozygous diploid deletion mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was screened for the genes required for tolerance to aliphatic alcohols. The screen identified 137, 122 and 48 deletion mutants sensitive to ethanol, 1-propanol and 1-pentanol, respectively. A number of the genes required for ethanol tolerance were those also required for tolerance to other alcohols. Numerous mutants with defective genes encoding for vacuolar H+ -ATPase (V-ATPase) were cosensitive to these alcohols. A global screening approach of yeast deletion library mutants was useful in elucidating the mechanisms of alcohol tolerance based on different lipophilicities.

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
All eukaryotic cells contain multiple acidic organelles, and V-ATPases are central players in organelle acidification. Not only is the structure of V-ATPases highly conserved among eukaryotes, but there are also many regulatory mechanisms that are similar between fungi and higher eukaryotes. These mechanisms allow cells both to regulate the pHs of different compartments and to respond to changing extracellular conditions. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae V-ATPase has emerged as an important model for V-ATPase structure and function in all eukaryotic cells. This review discusses current knowledge of the structure, function, and regulation of the V-ATPase in S. cerevisiae and also examines the relationship between biosynthesis and transport of V-ATPase and compartment-specific regulation of acidification.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V1V0 -ATPases) function in proton translocation across lipid membranes of subcellular compartments. We have used antibody labeling and electron microscopy to define the position of subunit C in the vacuolar ATPase from yeast. The data show that subunit C is binding at the interface of the ATPase and proton channel, opposite from another stalk density previously identified as subunit H [Wilkens S., Inoue T., and Forgac M. (2004) Three-dimensional structure of the vacuolar ATPase - Localization of subunit H by difference imaging and chemical cross-linking. J. Biol. Chem. 279, 41942-41949]. A picture of the vacuolar ATPase stalk domain is emerging in which subunits C and H are positioned to play a role in reversible enzyme dissociation and activity silencing.

Abstract
WNK (with no lysine (K)) protein kinases are found in many eukaryotes and share a unique active site. Here, we report that a member of the Arabidopsis WNK family (AtWNK8) interacts with subunit C of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) via a short C-terminal domain. AtWNK8 is shown to autophosphorylate intermolecularly and to phosphorylate Arabidopsis subunit C (AtVHA-C) at multiple sites as determined by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Furthermore, we show that AtVHA-C and other V-ATPase subunits are phosphorylated when V1-complexes are used as substrates for AtWNK8. Taken together, our results provide evidence that V-ATPases are potential targets of WNK kinases and their associated signaling pathways.

Abstract
V-ATPases acidify multiple organelles, and yeast mutants lacking V-ATPase activity exhibit a distinctive set of growth defects. To better understand the requirements for organelle acidification and the basis of these growth phenotypes, approximately 4700 yeast deletion mutants were screened for growth defects at pH 7.5 in 60 mm CaCl(2). In addition to 13 of 16 mutants lacking known V-ATPase subunits or assembly factors, 50 additional mutants were identified. Sixteen of these also grew poorly in nonfermentable carbon sources, like the known V-ATPase mutants, and were analyzed further. The cwh36Delta mutant exhibited the strongest phenotype; this mutation proved to disrupt a previously uncharacterized V-ATPase subunit. A small subset of the mutations implicated in vacuolar protein sorting, vps34Delta, vps15Delta, vps45Delta, and vps16Delta, caused both Vma- growth phenotypes and lower V-ATPase activity in isolated vacuoles, as did the shp1Delta mutation, implicated in both protein sorting and regulation of the Glc7p protein phosphatase. These proteins may regulate V-ATPase targeting and/or activity. Eight mutants showed a Vma- growth phenotype but no apparent defect in vacuolar acidification. Like V-ATPase-deficient mutants, most of these mutants rely on calcineurin for growth, particularly at high pH. A requirement for constitutive calcineurin activation may be the predominant physiological basis of the Vma- growth phenotype.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPase) are a family of multi-subunit ATP-dependent proton pumps involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. They are present in endomembrane organelles such as vacuoles, lysosomes, endosomes, the Golgi apparatus, chromaffin granules and coated vesicles, and acidify the luminal pH of these intracellular compartments. They also pump protons across the plasma membranes of specialized cells including osteoclasts and epithelial cells in kidneys and male genital tracts. Here, we briefly summarize our recent studies on the diverse and essential roles of mammalian V-ATPase.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit complex composed of a peripheral membrane sector (V1) responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral membrane sector (V0) required for proton translocation. Biogenesis of V0 requires an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized accessory factor, Vma21p. We found that in vma21Delta cells, the major proteolipid subunit of V0 failed to interact with the 100-kDa V0 subunit, Vph1p, indicating that Vma21p is necessary for V0 assembly. Immunoprecipitation of Vma21p from wild-type membranes resulted in coimmunoprecipitation of all five V0 subunits. Analysis of vmaDelta strains showed that binding of V0 subunits to Vma21p was mediated by the proteolipid subunit Vma11p. Although Vma21p/proteolipid interactions were independent of Vph1p, Vma21p/Vph1p association was dependent on all other V0 subunits, indicating that assembly of V0 occurs in a defined sequence, with Vph1p recruitment into a Vma21p/proteolipid/Vma6p complex representing the final step. An in vitro assay for ER export was used to demonstrate preferential packaging of the fully assembled Vma21p/proteolipid/Vma6p/Vph1p complex into COPII-coated transport vesicles. Pulse-chase experiments showed that the interaction between Vma21p and V0 was transient and that Vma21p/V0 dissociation was concomitant with V0/V1 assembly. Blocking ER export in vivo stabilized the interaction between Vma21p and V0 and abrogated assembly of V0/V1. Although a Vma21p mutant lacking an ER-retrieval signal remained associated with V0 in the vacuole, this interaction did not affect the assembly of vacuolar V0/V1 complexes. We conclude that Vma21p is not involved in regulating the interaction between V0 and V1 sectors, but that it has a crucial role in coordinating the assembly of V0 subunits and in escorting the assembled V0 complex into ER-derived transport vesicles.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) are multimeric proton pumps involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. We have identified two alternative splicing variants of C2 subunit isoforms: C2-a, a lung-specific isoform containing a 46-amino acid insertion, and C2-b, a kidney-specific isoform without the insert. Immunohistochemistry with isoform-specific antibodies revealed that V-ATPase with C2-a is localized specifically in lamellar bodies of type II alveolar cells, whereas the C2-b isoform is found in the plasma membranes of renal alpha and beta intercalated cells. Immunoprecipitation combined with immunohistological analysis revealed that C2-b together with other kidney-specific isoforms was selectively assembled to form a unique proton pump in intercalated cells. Furthermore, a chimeric yeast V-ATPase with mouse the C2-a or C2-b isoform showed a lower Km(ATP) and lower proton transport activity than that with C1 or Vma5p (yeast C subunit). These results suggest that V-ATPases with the C2-a and C2-b isoform are involved in luminal acidification of lamellar bodies and regulation of the renal acid-base balance, respectively.

Abstract
Mammals contain various cells differentiated in both morphology and function, which play vital roles in tissue-specific functions. Late endosome/lysosome and lysosomal-related organelles are involved in these specialized functions including antigen presentation, bone remodeling and hormone regulation. To fulfill these diverse roles, lysosomes are present at different levels in different tissues and cell types; however, their morphology within these different tissues varies and the regulation of their activities differs with lysosomal compartments in some cells also functioning as secretory compartments. The luminal acidification of these organelles is closely correlated with their functions. This review will discuss the functions of lysosomes and lysosomal-related organelles, with particular emphasis on the major proton pump, the vacuolar-type proton ATPase (V-ATPase), which is responsible for luminal acidification.

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
Primary proton transport by V-ATPases is regulated via the reversible dissociation of the V(1)V(0) holoenzyme into its V(1) and V(0) subcomplexes. Laser scanning microscopy of different tissues from the tobacco hornworm revealed co-localization of the holoenzyme and F-actin close to the apical membranes of the epithelial cells. In midgut goblet cells, no co-localization was observed under conditions where the V(1) complex detaches from the apical membrane. Binding studies, however, demonstrated that both the V(1) complex and the holoenzyme interact with F-actin, the latter with an apparently higher affinity. To identify F-actin binding subunits, we performed overlay blots that revealed two V(1) subunits as binding partners, namely subunit B, resembling the situation in the osteoclast V-ATPase (Holliday, L. S., Lu, M., Lee, B. S., Nelson, R. D., Solivan, S., Zhang, L., and Gluck, S. L. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 32331-32337), but, in addition, subunit C, which gets released during reversible dissociation of the holoenzyme. Overlay blots and co-pelleting assays showed that the recombinant subunit C also binds to F-actin. When the V(1) complex was reconstituted with recombinant subunit C, enhanced binding to F-actin was observed. Thus, subunit C may function as an anchor protein regulating the linkage between V-ATPase and the actin-based cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type proton-translocating ATPases (V-ATPases), multimeric proton pumps, are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. For their diverse functions, V-ATPases utilize a specific subunit isoform(s). Here, we reported the molecular cloning and characterization of three novel subunit isoforms, C2, d2 and G3, of mouse V-ATPase. These isoforms were expressed in a tissue-specific manner, in contrast to the ubiquitously expressed C1, d1 and G1 isoforms. C2 was expressed predominantly in lung and kidney, and d2 and G3 specifically in kidney. We introduced these isoforms into yeasts lacking the corresponding genes. Although the G3 and d2 did not rescue the vmaDelta phenotype, d1 and the two C isoforms functionally complemented the Deltavma6 and Deltavma5, respectively, indicating that they are bona fide subunits of V-ATPase.

Abstract
A recombinant form of subunit E (Vma4p) from yeast vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and explored by mass spectrometry. Analysis of the secondary structure of Vma4p by circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated 32% alpha-helix and 23% beta-sheet content. Vma4p formed a hybrid-complex with the nucleotide-binding subunits alpha and beta of the closely related F(1) ATPase of the thermophilic bacterium PS3 (TF(1)). The alpha(3)beta(3)E-hybrid-complex had 56% of the ATPase activity of the native TF(1). By comparison, an alpha(3)beta(3)-formation without Vma4p showed about 24% of total TF(1) ATPase activity. This is the first demonstration of a hydrolytically active hybrid-complex consisting of F(1) and V(1) subunits. The arrangement of subunit E in V(1) has been probed using the recombinant Vma4p, the alpha(3)beta(3)E-hybrid-complex together with V(1) and an A(3)B(3)HEG-subcomplex of the V(1) ATPase from Manduca sexta, respectively, indicating that subunit E is shielded in V(1).

Abstract
Vacuolar proton-translocating ATPases are composed of a peripheral complex, V(1), attached to an integral membrane complex, V(o). Association of the two complexes is essential for ATP-driven proton transport and is regulated post-translationally in response to glucose concentration. A new complex, RAVE, was recently isolated and implicated in glucose-dependent reassembly of V-ATPase complexes that had disassembled in response to glucose deprivation (Seol, J. H., Shevchenko, A., and Deshaies, R. J. (2001) Nat. Cell Biol. 3, 384-391). Here, we provide evidence supporting a role for RAVE in reassembly of the V-ATPase but also demonstrate an essential role in V-ATPase assembly under other conditions. The RAVE complex associates reversibly with V(1) complexes released from the membrane by glucose deprivation but binds constitutively to cytosolic V(1) sectors in a mutant lacking V(o) sectors. V-ATPase complexes from cells lacking RAVE subunits show serious structural and functional defects even in glucose-grown cells or in combination with a mutation that blocks disassembly of the V-ATPase. RAVE small middle dotV(1) interactions are specifically disrupted in cells lacking V(1) subunits E or G, suggesting a direct involvement for these subunits in interaction of the two complexes. Skp1p, a RAVE subunit involved in many different signal transduction pathways, binds stably to other RAVE subunits under conditions that alter RAVE small middle dotV(1) binding; thus, Skp1p recruitment to the RAVE complex does not appear to provide a signal for V-ATPase assembly.

Abstract
Subunit C is a V(1) sector subunit found in all vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) that may be part of the peripheral stalk connecting the peripheral V(1) sector with the membrane-bound V(0) sector of the enzyme (Wilkens, S., Vasilyeva, E., and Forgac, M. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 31804--31810). To elucidate subunit C function, we performed random and site-directed mutagenesis of the yeast VMA5 gene. Site-directed mutations in the most highly conserved region of Vma5p, residues 305--325, decreased catalytic activity of the V-ATPase by up to 48% without affecting assembly. A truncation mutant (K360stop) identified by random mutagenesis suggested a small region near the C terminus of the protein (amino acids 382--388) might be important for subunit stability. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that three aromatic amino acids in this region (Tyr-382, Phe-385, and Tyr-388) in addition to four other conserved aromatic amino acids (Phe-260, Tyr-262, Phe-296, Phe-300) are essential for stable assembly of V(1) with V(0), although alanine substitutions at these positions support some activity in vivo. Surprisingly, three mutations (F260A, Y262A, and F385A) greatly decrease the stability of the V-ATPase in vitro but increase its k(cat) for ATP hydrolysis and proton transport by at least 3-fold. The peripheral stalk of V-ATPases must balance the stability essential for productive catalysis with the dynamic instability involved in regulation; these three mutations may perturb that balance.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit complex composed of two sectors: V(1), a peripheral membrane sector responsible for ATP hydrolysis, and V(0), an integral membrane sector that forms a proton pore. Vma5p and Vma13p are V(1) sector subunits that have been implicated in the structural and functional coupling of the V-ATPase. Cells overexpressing Vma5p and Vma13p demonstrate a classic Vma(-) growth phenotype. Closer biochemical examination of Vma13p-overproducing strains revealed a functionally uncoupled V-ATPase in vacuolar vesicles. The ATP hydrolysis rate was 72% of the wild-type rate; but there was no proton translocation, and two V(1) subunits (Vma4p and Vma8p) were present at lower levels. Vma5p overproduction moderately affected both V-ATPase activity and proton translocation without affecting enzyme assembly. High level overexpression of Vma5p and Vma13p was lethal even in wild-type cells. In the absence of an intact V(0) sector, overproduction of Vma5p and Vma13p had a more detrimental effect on growth than their deletion. Overproduced Vma5p associated with cytosolic V(1) complexes; this association may cause the lethality.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus 16 (HPV-16) E5 oncoprotein is a small integral membrane protein that binds to the 16-kDa subunit of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (v-ATPase). Conservation within the family of v-ATPases prompted us to look to Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a potential model organism for E5 study. The E5 open reading frame, driven by a galactose-inducible promoter, was integrated into the yeast genome, and the resulting strain demonstrated a nearly complete growth arrest at neutral pH, consistent with defects associated with yeast v-ATPase mutants. Furthermore, this strain demonstrated a severe reduction in pH-dependent and v-ATPase-dependent vacuolar localization of fluorescent markers. Overexpression of the yeast 16-kDa subunit homolog partially suppressed E5-associated growth defects. E5 expression was correlated with a disassociation of the integral (V(o)) and peripheral (V(i)) v-ATPase sub-complexes, as well as a dramatic reduction of the steady-state levels of one mature V(o) subunit and the concomitant accumulation of its major proteolytic fragment, with unchanged levels of two V(i) subunits. Similar analyses of selected E5 mutants in yeast demonstrated a correlation between E5 biology and v-ATPase disruption. Our observations suggest that wild-type HPV-16 E5 acts during the assembly of the v-ATPase to inhibit, either directly or indirectly, V(o) stability and complex formation.

Abstract
Environmental pH exerts broad control over growth and differentiation, but the molecular responses to external pH changes are poorly understood. Here we have used open reading frame macroarray hybridization to identify alkaline response genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Northern or lacZ fusion assays confirmed the alkaline induction of two ion pump genes (ENA1 and VMA4), several ion limitation genes (CTR3, FRE1, PHO11/12, and PHO84), a siderophore-iron transporter gene (ARN4/ENB1), two transcription factor genes (NRG2 and TIS11), and two predicted membrane protein genes (YAR068W/YHR214W and YOL154W). Unlike ENA1 and SHC1, these new alkaline response genes are not induced by high salinity. The known pH-responsive genes in other fungi depend on the conserved PacC/Rim101p transcription factor, but induction of several of these new genes relied upon Rim101p-independent pH signaling mechanisms. Rim101p-dependent genes were also dependent on Rim13p, a protease required for Rim101p processing. The Rim101p-dependent gene VMA4 is required for growth in alkaline conditions, illustrating how Rim101p may control adaptation. Because Rim101p activates ion pump genes, we tested the role of RIM101 in ion homeostasis and found that RIM101 promotes resistance to elevated cation concentrations. Thus, gene expression surveys can reveal new functions for characterized transcription factors in addition to uncovering physiological responses to environmental conditions.

Abstract
The G subunit of V-ATPases is a soluble subunit that shows homology with the b subunit of F-ATPases and may be part of the "stator" stalk connecting the peripheral V(1) and membrane V(0) sectors. When the N-terminal half of the G subunit is modeled as an alpha helix, most of the conserved residues fall on one face of the helix (Hunt, I. E., and Bowman, B. J. (1997) J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 29, 533-540). We probed the function of this region by site-directed mutagenesis of the yeast VMA10 gene. Stable G subunits were produced in the presence of Y46A and K55A mutations, but subunit E was destabilized, resulting in loss of the V-ATPase assembly. Mutations E14A and K50A allowed wild-type growth and assembly of V-ATPase complexes, but the complexes formed were unstable. Mutations R25A and R25L stabilized V-ATPase complexes relative to wild-type and partially inhibited disassembly of V(1) from V(0) in response to glucose deprivation even though the mutant enzymes were fully active. A 2-amino acid deletion in the middle of the predicted N-terminal helix (DeltaQ29D30) allowed assembly of a functional V-ATPase. The results indicate that, although the N-terminal half of the G subunit is essential for V-ATPase activity, either this region is not a rigid helix or the presence of a continuous, conserved face of the helix is not essential.

Abstract
The plasma membrane V-ATPase from Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) larval midgut is composed of at least 12 subunits, eight of which have already been identified molecularly [Wieczorek et al., J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 31 (1999) 67-74]. Here we report primary sequences of subunits C, D, H and a, which previously had not been identified in insects. Expression of recombinant proteins, immunostaining and protein sequencing demonstrated that the corresponding proteins are subunits of the Manduca V-ATPase. Genomic Southern blot analysis indicated the existence of multiple genes encoding subunits G, a, c, d and e. Moreover, multiple transcripts were detected in Northern blots from midgut poly(A) RNA for subunits B, G, c and d. Thus, these polypeptides appear to exist as multiple isoforms that could be expressed either in different tissues or at distinct locations within a cell. By contrast subunits A, C, D, E, F and H appear to be encoded by single transcripts and therefore should be present in any Manduca V-ATPase, independent of its subcellular or cell specific origin.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) is a chain of tens or many hundreds of phosphate (Pi) residues linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. Despite inorganic polyphosphate's ubiquity--found in every cell in nature and likely conserved from prebiotic times--this polymer has been given scant attention. Among the reasons for this neglect of poly P have been the lack of sensitive, definitive, and facile analytical methods to assess its concentration in biological sources and the consequent lack of demonstrably important physiological functions. This review focuses on recent advances made possible by the introduction of novel, enzymatically based assays. The isolation and ready availability of Escherichia coli polyphosphate kinase (PPK) that can convert poly P and ADP to ATP and of a yeast exopolyphosphatase that can hydrolyze poly P to Pi, provide highly specific, sensitive, and facile assays adaptable to a high-throughput format. Beyond the reagents afforded by the use of these enzymes, their genes, when identified, mutated, and overexpressed, have offered insights into the physiological functions of poly P. Most notably, studies in E. coli reveal large accumulations of poly P in cellular responses to deficiencies in an amino acid, Pi, or nitrogen or to the stresses of a nutrient downshift or high salt. The ppk mutant, lacking PPK and thus severely deficient in poly P, also fails to express RpoS (a sigma factor for RNA polymerase), the regulatory protein that governs > or = 50 genes responsible for stationary-phase adaptations to resist starvation, heat and oxidant stresses, UV irradiation, etc. Most dramatically, ppk mutants die after only a few days in stationary phase. The high degree of homology of the PPK sequence in many bacteria, including some of the major pathogenic species (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Neisseria meningitidis, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bordetella pertussis, and Yersinia pestis), has prompted the knockout of their ppk gene to determine the dependence of virulence on poly P and the potential of PPK as a target for antimicrobial drugs. In yeast and mammalian cells, exo- and endopolyphosphatases have been identified and isolated, but little is known about the synthesis of poly P or its physiologic functions. Whether microbe or human, all species depend on adaptations in the stationary phase, which is truly a dynamic phase of life. Most research is focused on the early and reproductive phases of organisms, which are rather brief intervals of rapid growth. More attention needs to be given to the extensive period of maturity. Survival of microbial species depends on being able to manage in the stationary phase. In view of the universality and complexity of basic biochemical mechanisms, it would be surprising if some of the variety of poly P functions observed in microorganisms did not apply to aspects of human growth and development, to aging, and to the aberrations of disease. Of theoretical interest regarding poly P is its antiquity in prebiotic evolution, which along with its high energy and phosphate content, make it a plausible precursor to RNA, DNA, and proteins. Practical interest in poly P includes many industrial applications, among which is the microbial removal of Pi in aquatic environments.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is composed of a peripherally bound (V(1)) and a membrane-associated (V(0)) complex. V(1) ATP hydrolysis is thought to rotate a central stalk, which in turn, is hypothesized to drive V(0) proton translocation. Transduction of torque exerted by the rotating stalk on V(0) requires a fixed structural link (stator) between the complexes to prevent energy loss through futile rotation of V(1) relative to V(0); this work sought to identify stator components. The 95-kDa V-ATPase subunit, Vph1p, has a cytosolic NH(2) terminus (Nt-Vph1p) and a membrane-associated COOH terminus. Two-hybrid assays demonstrated that Nt-Vph1p interacts with the catalytic V(1) subunit, Vma1p. Co-immunoprecipitation of Vma1p with Nt-Vph1p confirmed the interaction. Expression of Nt-Vph1p in a Deltavph1 mutant was necessary to recruit Vma13p to V(1). Vma13p bound to Nt-Vph1p in vitro demonstrating direct interaction. Limited trypsin digests cleaves both Nt-Vph1p and Vma13p. The same tryptic treatment results in a loss of proton translocation while not reducing bafilomycin A(1)-sensitive ATP hydrolysis. Trypsin cleaved Vph1p at arginine 53. Elimination of the tryptic cleavage site by substitution of arginine 53 to serine partially protected vacuolar acidification from trypsin digestion. These results suggest that Vph1p may function as a component of a fixed structural link, or stator, coupling V(1) ATP hydrolysis to V(0) proton translocation.
