Abstract
Human bronchial smooth muscle cell soluble proteins were analyzed by a combined method of nondenaturing micro 2DE, grid gel‐cutting, and quantitative LC‐MS/MS and a native protein map was prepared for each of the identified 4323 proteins [1]. A method to evaluate the degree of similarity between the protein maps was developed since we expected the proteins comprising a protein complex would be separated together under nondenaturing conditions. The following procedure was employed using Excel macros; (i) maps that have three or more squares with protein quantity data were selected (2328 maps), (ii) within each map, the quantity values of the squares were normalized setting the highest value to be 1.0, (iii) in comparing a map with another map, the smaller normalized quantity in two corresponding squares was taken and summed throughout the map to give an “overlap score,” (iv) each map was compared against all the 2328 maps and the largest overlap score, obtained when a map was compared with itself, was set to be 1.0 thus providing 2328 “overlap factors,” (v) step (iv) was repeated for all maps providing 2328 × 2328 matrix of overlap factors. From the matrix, protein pairs that showed overlap factors above 0.65 from both protein sides were selected (431 protein pairs). Each protein pair was searched in a database (UniProtKB) on complex formation and 301 protein pairs, which comprise 35 protein complexes, were found to be documented. These results demonstrated that native protein maps and their similarity search would enable simultaneous analysis of multiple protein complexes in cells.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) proton pump is a macromolecular complex composed of at least 14 subunits organized into two functional domains, V(1) and V(0). The complex is located on the ruffled border plasma membrane of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, mediating extracellular acidification for bone demineralization during bone resorption. Genetic studies from mice to man implicate a critical role for V-ATPase subunits in osteoclast-related diseases including osteopetrosis and osteoporosis. Thus, the V-ATPase complex is a potential molecular target for the development of novel anti-resorptive agents useful for the treatment of osteolytic diseases. Here, we review the current structure and function of V-ATPase subunits, emphasizing their exquisite roles in osteoclastic function. In addition, we compare several distinct classes of V-ATPase inhibitors with specific inhibitory effects on osteoclasts. Understanding the structure-function relationship of the osteoclast V-ATPase may lead to the development of osteoclast-specific V-ATPase inhibitors that may serve as alternative therapies for the treatment of osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
We have previously shown that vacuolar H+-ATPase subcomplex V(o) from mung bean contains subunit d, however, its sequence and function were unknown. In the present study, we report the cloning and recombinant over expression of subunit d from mung bean in E. coli. To study the function of subunit d, two vacuolar H+-ATPase subcomplexes V(o) from mung bean were purified-one containing subunits a and c(c',c") and the other containing subunits a, c(c',c") and d. After reconstitution of the purified V(o) subcomplexes into liposomes, the proton translocation was studied. Our results show that the V(o) subcomplex in the absence of subunit d is a passive proton channel, while the V(o) subcomplex in the presence of the subunit d is not. Taken together, our data supports the conclusion that the subunit d of the plant vacuolar H(+)-ATPase from mung bean is positioned at the central stalk and involved in the proton translocation across the tonoplast membrane.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are ATP-dependent proton pumps that operate by a rotary mechanism in which ATP hydrolysis drives rotation of a ring of proteolipid subunits relative to subunit a within the integral V(0) domain. In vivo dissociation of the V-ATPase (an important regulatory mechanism) generates a V(0) domain that does not passively conduct protons. EM analysis indicates that the N-terminal domain of subunit a approaches the rotary subunits in free V(0), suggesting a possible mechanism of silencing passive proton transport. To test the hypothesis that the N-terminal domain inhibits passive proton flux by preventing rotation of the proteolipid ring in free V(0), factor Xa cleavage sites were introduced between the N- and C-terminal domains of subunit a (the Vph1p isoform in yeast) to allow its removal in vitro after isolation of vacuolar membranes. The mutant Vph1p gave rise to a partially uncoupled V-ATPase complex. Cleavage with factor Xa led to further loss of coupling of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. Removal of the N-terminal domain by cleavage with factor Xa and treatment with KNO3 and MgATP did not, however, lead to an increase in passive proton conductance by free V(0), suggesting that removal of the N-terminal domain is not sufficient to facilitate passive proton conductance through V(0). Photoactivated cross-linking using the cysteine reagent maleimido benzophenone and single cysteine mutants of subunit a demonstrated the proximity of specific sites within the N-terminal domain and subunits E and G of the peripheral stalk. These results suggest that a localized region of the N-terminal domain (residues 347-369) is important in anchoring the peripheral stator in V1V0.

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
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
Acidification of some organelles, including the Golgi complex, lysosomes, secretory granules, and synaptic vesicles, is important for many of their biochemical functions. In addition, acidic pH in some compartments is also required for the efficient sorting and trafficking of proteins and lipids along the biosynthetic and endocytic pathways. Despite considerable study, however, our understanding of how pH modulates membrane traffic remains limited. In large part, this is due to the diversity of methods to perturb and monitor pH, as well as to the difficulties in isolating individual transport steps within the complex pathways of membrane traffic. This review summarizes old and recent evidence for the role of acidification at various steps of biosynthetic and endocytic transport in mammalian cells. We describe the mechanisms by which organelle pH is regulated and maintained, as well as how organelle pH is monitored and quantitated. General principles that emerge from these studies as well as future directions of interest are discussed.

Abstract
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are a family of highly conserved proton pumps that couple hydrolysis of cytosolic ATP to proton transport out of the cytosol. How ATP is supplied for V-ATPase-mediated hydrolysis and for coupling of proton transport is poorly understood. We have reported that the glycolytic enzyme aldolase physically associates with V-ATPase. Here we show that aldolase interacts with three different subunits of V-ATPase (subunits a, B, and E). The binding sites for the V-ATPase subunits on aldolase appear to be on distinct interfaces of the glycolytic enzyme. Aldolase deletion mutant cells were able to grow in medium buffered at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.5, displaying a growth phenotype similar to that observed in V-ATPase subunit deletion mutants. Abnormalities in V-ATPase assembly and protein expression observed in aldolase deletion mutant cells could be fully rescued by aldolase complementation. The interaction between aldolase and V-ATPase increased dramatically in the presence of glucose, suggesting that aldolase may act as a glucose sensor for V-ATPase regulation. Taken together, these findings provide functional evidence that the ATP-generating glycolytic pathway is directly coupled to the ATP-hydrolyzing proton pump through physical interaction between aldolase and V-ATPase.

Abstract
We have identified a cDNA encoding a novel isoform of the mouse V-ATPase d subunit (d2). The protein encoded is 350 amino acids in length and shows 42 and 67% identity to the yeast d subunit (Vma6p) and the mouse d1 isoform, respectively. Reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis using isoform-specific primers demonstrate that d2 is expressed mainly in kidney and at lower levels in heart, spleen, skeletal muscle, and testis. Although d1 and d2 show similar levels of sequence homology to Vma6p, only the d1 isoform can complement the phenotype of a yeast strain in which VMA6 has been disrupted when cells are grown at 30 degrees C. The d2 isoform, however, can complement the vma6Delta phenotype when cells are grown at 25 degrees C. Moreover, partial assembly of the V-ATPase complex on the vacuolar membrane can be detected under these conditions, although assembly is significantly lower than that observed for the strain expressing Vma6p. This reduced assembly is also reflected in a reduced level of concanamycin-sensitive ATPase activity and proton transport in isolated vacuoles. Comparison of the kinetic properties of V-ATPase complexes containing Vma6p and d1 demonstrate that although the Km for ATP hydrolysis is similar (0.26 and 0.31 mm, respectively), the coupling ratio (proton transport/ATP hydrolysis) is approximately 3-6-fold higher for d1-containing complexes than for Vma6p-containing complexes. These results suggest that subunit d may play a role in coupling of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis.

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
Subunit A is the catalytic nucleotide binding subunit of the vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (or V-ATPase) and is homologous to subunit beta of the F(1)F(0) ATP synthase (or F-ATPase). Amino acid sequence alignment of these subunits reveals a 90-amino acid insert in subunit A (termed the non-homologous region) that is absent from subunit beta. To investigate the functional role of this region, site-directed mutagenesis has been performed on the VMA1 gene that encodes subunit A in yeast. Substitutions were performed on 13 amino acid residues within this region that are conserved in all available A subunit sequences. Most of the 18 mutations introduced showed normal assembly of the V-ATPase. Of these, one (R219K) greatly reduced both proton transport and ATPase activity. By contrast, the P217V mutant showed significantly reduced ATPase activity but higher than normal levels of proton transport, suggesting an increase in coupling efficiency. Two other mutations in the same region (P223V and P233V) showed decreased coupling efficiency, suggesting that changes in the non-homologous region can alter coupling of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. It was previously shown that the V-ATPase must possess at least 5-10% activity relative to wild type to undergo in vivo dissociation in response to glucose withdrawal. However, four of the mutations studied (G150A, D157E, P177V, and P223V) were partially or completely blocked in dissociation despite having greater than 30% of wild type levels of activity. These results suggest that changes in the non-homologous region can also alter in vivo dissociation of the V-ATPase independent of effects on activity.

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-type ATPase (V-ATPase) purified from the midgut of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta is inhibited 50% by 10 nm of the plecomacrolide concanamycin A, the specific inhibitor of V-ATPases. To determine the binding site(s) of that antibiotic in the enzyme complex, labeling with the semisynthetic 9-O-[p-(trifluoroethyldiazirinyl)-benzoyl]-21,23-dideoxy-23-[(125)I]iodo-concanolide A (J-concanolide A) was performed, which still inhibits the V-ATPase 50% at a concentration of 15-20 microm. Upon treatment with UV light, a highly reactive carbene is generated from this concanamycin derivative, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond to the enzyme. In addition, the radioactive tracer (125)I makes the detection of the labeled subunit(s) feasible. Treatment of the V(1)/V(o) holoenzyme, the V(o) complex, and the V-ATPase containing goblet cell apical membranes with concanolide resulted in the labeling of only the proteolipid, subunit c, of the proton translocating V(o) complex. Binding of J-concanolide A to subunit c was prevented in a concentration-dependent manner by concanamycin A, indicating that labeling was specific. Binding was also prevented by the plecomacrolides bafilomycin A(1) and B(1), respectively, but not by the benzolactone enamide salicylihalamide, a member of a novel class of V-ATPase inhibitors.

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.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (or V-ATPases) are structurally related to the F(1)F(0) ATP synthases of mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria, being composed of a peripheral (V(1)) and an integral (V(0)) domain. To further investigate the arrangement of subunits in the V-ATPase complex, covalent cross-linking has been carried out on the V-ATPase from clathrin-coated vesicles using three different cross-linking reagents. Cross-linked products were identified by molecular weight and by Western blot analysis using polyclonal antibodies raised against individual V-ATPase subunits. In the intact V(1)V(0) complex, evidence for cross-linking of subunits C and E, D and F, as well as E and G by disuccinimidyl glutarate was obtained, while in the free V(1) domain, cross-linking of subunits H and E was also observed. Subunits C and E as well as D and E could be cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, while subunits a and E could be cross-linked by 4-(N-maleimido)benzophenone. It was further demonstrated that it is possible to treat the V-ATPase with potassium iodide and MgATP in such a way that while subunits A, B, and H are nearly quantitatively removed, significant amounts of subunits C, D, E, and F remain attached to the membrane, suggesting that one or more of these latter subunits are in contact with the V(0) domain. In addition, treatment of the V-ATPase with cystine, which modifies Cys-254 of the catalytic A subunit, results in dissociation of subunit H, suggesting communication between the catalytic nucleotide binding site and subunit H. Finally, the stoichiometry of subunits F, G, and H were determined by quantitative amino acid analysis. Based on these and previous observations, a new structural model of the V-ATPase from clathrin-coated vesicles is proposed.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are composed of two distinct sectors, a catalytic complex (V(1)) involved in ATP hydrolysis and a membrane-associated complex (V(0)) mediating proton translocation across a lipid bilayer. To date, little is known about the mechanism by which these two functions are coupled. We sought to examine the impact of nucleotide and cation binding on the structure of the core components of the catalytic complex and to determine whether conformational changes within the catalytic complex impact subunits of the membrane-associated complex. Nucleotide- and cation- induced changes in the catalytic core of the V-ATPase were investigated by monitoring changes in the rate and pattern of tryptic digests. ATP.Mg-induced changes were detected in both the catalytic (Vma1p or 69 kDa) and the regulatory subunits (Vma2p or 60 kDa) of the V(1) sector. ATP alone increased the rate of trypsinization of the regulatory subunit, but did not have any effect on Vma1p. Surprisingly, ATP also had an impact on the 95-kDa subunit, a component of the V(0) sector of the V-ATPase. Although the presence of divalent cations had no impact on the V(1) sector, the rate of trypsinization of the 95-kDa subunit was greatly enhanced. The effect of divalent cations on the structure of the 95-kDa subunit was abrogated when trypsinization was performed in the absence of the catalytic sector. Addition of bafilomycin A(1), a V-ATPase inhibitor that putatively binds to the 95-kDa subunit, increased the rate of trypsinization of the catalytic subunit. These data suggest that structural alterations within the V(1) sector result in alterations within the V(0) sector and vice versa. Clearly, a structural link must exist to couple the two sectors. The 95-kDa subunit is ideally suited to fulfill this role. Hydropathy analysis suggests a bipartite structure, with the NH(2)-terminal portion predicted to lie in an aqueous environment and the C-terminal portion predicted to contain 6 transmembrane segments. Tryptic digests of sealed vacuolar vesicles and immunofluorescence studies revealed that the large hydrophilic NH(2)-terminal domain of the 95-kDa subunit is localized toward the cytosol. This region therefore is ideally positioned to interact with components of the V(1) complex, potentially functioning as the elusive link between the two sectors of the V-ATPase.

Abstract
The membrane topography of the yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase a subunit (Vph1p) has been investigated using cysteine-scanning mutagenesis. A Cys-less form of Vph1p lacking the seven endogenous cysteines was constructed and shown to have 80% of wild type activity. Single cysteine residues were introduced at 13 sites within the Cys-less mutant, with 12 mutants showing greater than 70% of wild type activity. To evaluate their disposition with respect to the membrane, vacuoles were treated in the presence or absence of the impermeant sulfhydryl reagent 4-acetamido-4'-maleimidylstilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (AMS) followed by the membrane permeable sulfhydryl reagent 3-(N-maleimidylpropionyl) biocytin (MPB). Three of the 12 active cysteine mutants were not labeled by MPB. The mutants E3C, D89C, T161C, S266C, N447C, K450C, and S703C were labeled by MPB in an AMS-protectable manner, suggesting a cytoplasmic orientation, whereas G602C and S840C showed minimal protection by AMS, suggesting a lumenal orientation. Factor Xa cleavage sites were introduced at His-499, Leu-560, and Pro-606. Cleavage at 560 was observed in the absence of detergent, suggesting a cytoplasmic orientation for this site. Based on these results, we propose a model of the a subunit containing nine transmembrane segments, with the amino terminus facing the cytoplasm and the carboxyl terminus facing the lumen.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is responsible for acidifying endomembrane compartments in eukaryotic cells. Although a 100 kDa subunit is common to many V-ATPases, it is not detected in a purified and active pump from oat (Ward J.M. and Sze H. (1992) Plant Physiol. 99, 925-931). A 100 kDa subunit of the yeast V-ATPase is encoded by VPH1. Immunostaining revealed a Vph1p-related polypeptide in oat membranes, thus the role of this polypeptide was investigated. Membrane proteins were detergent-solubilized and size-fractionated, and V-ATPase subunits were identified by immunostaining. A 100 kDa polypeptide was not associated with the fully assembled ATPase; however, it was part of an approximately 250 kDa V0 complex including subunits of 36 and 16 kDa. Immunostaining with an affinity-purified antibody against the oat 100 kDa protein confirmed that the polypeptide was part of a 250 kDa complex and that it had not degraded in the approximately 670 kDa holoenzyme. Co-immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody against A subunit indicated that peripheral subunits exist as assembled V1 subcomplexes in the cytosol. The free V1 subcomplex became attached to the detergent-solubilized V0 sector after mixing, as subunits of both sectors were co-precipitated by an antibody against subunit A. The absence of this polypeptide from the active enzyme suggests that, unlike the yeast Vph1p, the 100 kDa polypeptide in oat is not required for activity. Its association with the free Vo subcomplex would support a role of this protein in V-ATPase assembly and perhaps in sorting.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (or V-ATPases) function to acidify intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells, playing an important role in such processes as receptor-mediated endocytosis, intracellular membrane traffic, protein degradation and coupled transport. V-ATPases in the plasma membrane of specialized cells also function in renal acidification, bone resorption and cytosolic pH maintenance. The V-ATPases are composed of two domains. The V1 domain is a 570-kDa peripheral complex composed of 8 subunits (subunits A-H) of molecular weight 70-13 kDa which is responsible for ATP hydrolysis. The V0 domain is a 260-kDa integral complex composed of 5 subunits (subunits a-d) which is responsible for proton translocation. The V-ATPases are structurally related to the F-ATPases which function in ATP synthesis. Biochemical and mutational studies have begun to reveal the function of individual subunits and residues in V-ATPase activity. A central question in this field is the mechanism of regulation of vacuolar acidification in vivo. Evidence has been obtained suggesting a number of possible mechanisms of regulating V-ATPase activity, including reversible dissociation of V1 and V0 domains, disulfide bond formation at the catalytic site and differential targeting of V-ATPases. Control of anion conductance may also function to regulate vacuolar pH. Because of the diversity of functions of V-ATPases, cells most likely employ multiple mechanisms for controlling their activity.

Abstract
The kinetics of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent proton transport into clathrin-coated vesicles from bovine brain have been studied. We observe that the vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) from clathrin-coated vesicles is subject to two different types of inhibition by ADP. The first is competitive inhibition with respect to ATP, with a Ki for ADP of 11 microM. The second type of inhibition occurs after preincubation of the V-ATPase in the presence of ADP and Mg2+, which results in inhibition of the initial rate of proton transport followed by reactivation over the course of several minutes. The second effect is observed at ADP concentrations as low as 0.1-0.2 microM, indicating that a high affinity inhibitory complex is formed between ADP and the V-ATPase and is only slowly dissociated after the addition of ATP. We have further investigated the effect of sodium azide, an inhibitor of the F-ATPases that has been shown to stabilize an inactive complex between ADP and the F1-F0-ATP synthase (F-ATPase). We observed that azide inhibited ATP-dependent proton transport by the purified, reconstituted V-ATPase with a K0.5 of 0.2-0.4 mM but had no effect on ATP hydrolysis. Azide was shown not to increase the passive proton permeability of reconstituted vesicles and did not stimulate ATP hydrolysis by the reconstituted enzyme, in contrast with CCCP, which both abolished the proton gradient and stimulated hydrolysis. Thus, azide does not appear to act as a simple uncoupler of proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. Rather, azide may have some more direct effect on V-ATPase activity. Possible mechanisms by which azide could exert this effect on the V-ATPase and the contrasting effects of azide on the F- and V-ATPases are discussed.

Abstract
The vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (or V-ATPases) function in the acidification of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. The V-ATPases are multisubunit complexes composed of two functional domains. The peripheral V1 domain, a 500-kDa complex responsible for ATP hydrolysis, contains at least eight different subunits of molecular weight 70-13 (subunits A-H). The integral V0 domain, a 250-kDa complex, functions in proton translocation and contains at least five different subunits of molecular weight 100-17 (subunits a-d). Biochemical and genetic analysis has been used to identify subunits and residues involved in nucleotide binding and hydrolysis, proton translocation, and coupling of these activities. Several mechanisms have been implicated in the regulation of vacuolar acidification in vivo, including control of pump density, regulation of assembly of V1 and V0 domains, disulfide bond formation, activator or inhibitor proteins, and regulation of counterion conductance. Recent information concerning targeting and regulation of V-ATPases has also been obtained.

Abstract
A prominent 16-kDa protein copurifies with the V-ATPase isolated from both posterior midgut and Malpighian tubules of Manduca sexta larvae and thus was believed to represent a V-ATPase subunit. [14C]N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide labeling and its position on SDS-electrophoresis gels revealed that this protein was different from the 17-kDa proteolipid. A cDNA clone encoding a highly hydrophilic protein with a calculated molecular mass of 13,692 Da was obtained by immunoscreening. Monospecific antibodies, affinity-purified to the 13-kDa recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli, specifically recognized the 16-kDa protein of the purified V-ATPase, confirming that a cDNA encoding this protein had been cloned. In vitro translation of the cRNA showed that the cloned 13-kDa subunit behaved like a 16-kDa protein on SDS-electrophoresis gels. The cloned protein showed 37% amino acid sequence identity to the 13-kDa V-ATPase subunit Vma10p recently cloned from yeast and some similarity to subunit b of bacterial F-ATPases. In contrast to the Vma10p protein, which behaved like a V0 subunit, the M. sexta 13-kDa protein behaved like a V1 subunit, since it could be stripped from the membrane by treatment with the chaotropic salt KI and by cold inactivation. When KI dissociated V-ATPase subunits were reassociated by dialysis that removed the KI, a soluble, 450-kDa complex of the M. sexta V-ATPase could be purified by gel chromatography. This V1 complex consisted of subunits A, B, E, and the 13-kDa subunit, confirming that the cloned protein is a new V-ATPase subunit and a member of the peripheral V1 complex of the V-ATPase. We designate this new V1 component subunit G.

Abstract
The B subunit of the vacuolar (H+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) has previously been shown to participate in nucleotide binding and to possess significant sequence homology with the alpha subunit of the mitochondrial F-ATPase, which forms the major portion of the noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites and contributes several residues to the catalytic sites of this complex. Based upon the recent x-ray structure of the mitochondrial F1 ATPase (Abrahams, J.P., Leslie, A.G., Lutter, R., and Walker, J.E. (1994) Nature 370,621-628), site-directed mutagenesis of the yeast VMA2 gene has been carried out in a strain containing a deletion of this gene. VMA2 encodes the yeast V-ATPase B subunit (Vma2p). Mutations at two residues postulated to be contributed by Vma2p to the catalytic site (R381S and Y352S) resulted in a complete loss of ATPase activity and proton transport, with the former having a partial effect on V-ATPase assembly. Interestingly, substitution of Phe for Tyr-352 had only minor effects on activity (15-30% inhibition), suggesting the requirement for an aromatic ring at this position. Alteration of Tyr-370, which is postulated to be near the adenine binding pocket at the noncatalytic sites, to Arg, Phe, or Ser caused a 30-50% inhibition of proton transport and ATPase activity, suggesting that an aromatic ring is not essential at this position. Finally, mutagenesis of residues in the region corresponding to the P-loop of the alpha subunit (H180K, H180G, H180D, N181V) also inhibited proton transport and ATPase activity by approximately 30-50%. None of the mutations in either the putative adenine binding pocket nor the P-loop region had any effect on the ability of Vma2p to correctly fold nor on the V-ATPase to correctly assemble. The significance of these results for the structure and function of the nucleotide binding sites on the B subunit is discussed.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the 73-kDa A subunit of the coated vesicle V-ATPase possesses a nucleotide-binding site essential for activity (Arai, H., Berne, M., Terres, G., Terres, H., Puopolo, K., and Forgac, M. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 6632-6638) and have identified a cysteine residue (Cys254) whose modification leads to complete loss of activity (Feng, Y., and Forgac, M. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 5817-5822). To further characterize the structure of the nucleotide-binding sites of the V-ATPase, labeling studies using the photoactivated analog 2-azido-[32P]ATP have been carried out. We have observed that 2-azido-[32P]ATP is hydrolyzed by the V-ATPase at a rate (at 1 mM) approximately 4-fold lower than observed for ATP, indicating that 2-azido-[32P]ATP is a good substrate for the V-ATPase. Irradiation of the V-ATPase in the presence of 0.5 mM 2-azido-[32P]ATP leads to inactivation of V-ATPase activity with a t1/2 of 3-5 min. The 73-kDa A subunit, the 58-kDa B subunit, and the 50-kDa subunit of the AP-2 adaptin complex (Myers, M., and Forgac, M. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 9184-9186) are all labeled in an ATP-protectable manner on irradiation of the purified V-ATPase with 2-azido-[32P]ATP. The time course for inactivation most closely correlates with labeling of the A subunit. Measurement of the stoichiometry of 2-azido-[32P]ATP incorporation into the A subunit as a function of inactivation indicates that complete loss of activity is obtained on incorporation of 1.2 mol of 2-azido-[32P]ATP/mol V-ATPase complex. 2-Azido-[32P]ATP labeling indicates that the V-ATPase possesses both rapidly (t1/2 < 2 min) and slowly (t1/2 > 2 min) exchangeable nucleotide-binding sites. The A subunit is labeled upon modification of both rapidly and slowly exchangeable sites whereas the B subunit is labeled upon modification of only rapidly exchangeable sites. Inhibition of V-ATPase activity correlates with labeling of the rapidly exchangeable sites. Amino acid sequence analysis of peptides derived from the 2-azido-[32P]ATP-labeled A subunit indicates labeling of two peptides: a 12-kDa fragment which begins at residue 511 and contains Cys532 and a 3-kDa fragment which begins at residue 233 and contains the glycine-rich loop and Cys254. Only the 12-kDa fragment is labeled upon modification of the rapidly exchangeable sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The purified H(+)-ATPase of the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane has been reconstituted by a gel filtration method into lipidic vesicles using sodium deoxycholate as the detergent. Reconstitution was performed for lipid/ATPase ratios ranging from 1000:1 to 5:1 (w/w). Whatever the lipid/ATPase ratio, the ATPase molecules completely associate with the lipid vesicles. The ATPase specific activity is identical for all proteoliposomes regardless of the lipid/ATPase ratio, but the H+ transport decreases at high protein/lipid ratios, suggesting that the proteoliposomes are more leaky to H+ as the amount of protein inserted into the lipidic membrane increases. Analysis of the fragments generated by trypsin proteolysis in the presence and in the absence of MgATP+ vanadate indicate that most of the reconstituted ATPase molecules are able to assume the transition state of the enzyme dephosphorylation reaction, and are therefore functional. The orientation (inside-out or rightside-out) of the ATPase molecules in the vesicles is independent of the lipid/ATPase ratio chosen for the reconstitution. For all the lipid/ATPase ratios tested, most of the ATPase molecules (> 99%) expose their cytoplasmic side to the outside of the reconstituted proteoliposomes. The size of the vesicles increases parallel to the ATPase amount. Although the H+ leakiness of our preparation at low lipid/protein ratios prevents proton pumping measurements, the reconstitution procedure described here has the main advantage on other procedures to allow the obtention of vesicles at high protein-to-lipid ratios, facilitating further structural characterization of the ATPase by biochemical and biophysical techniques. Therefore, the procedure described here could be of general interest in the field of membrane protein study.

Abstract
The V-ATPases are a novel class of ATP-dependent proton pumps responsible for acidification of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. They play an important role in receptor-mediated endocytosis, intracellular membrane traffic, macromolecular processing and degradation and coupled transport, as well as functioning in the plasma membrane of certain specialized cell types. The V-ATPases are multisubunit complexes that are organized into a peripheral V1 complex responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral V0 domain responsible for proton translocation. Regulation of vacuolar acidification is critical to its role in membrane traffic and other cellular processes. We are currently investigating several mechanisms of regulation of vacuolar acidification, including disulfide bond formation between cysteine residues located at the catalytic site, control of assembly of the peripheral and integral domains, and differential targeting of V-ATPases to different intracellular destinations using their interaction with organelle-specific adaptin complexes.

Abstract
Tonoplast membrane fractions were isolated from beetroot (Beta vulgaris) using a refined method of preparation which significantly improved the yield of active tonoplast H(+)-ATPase, and electron microscopy showed these fractions to be a preparation of small vesicles, of diameter 500 nm to 50 nm and a minor fraction consisting of mainly tubular membrane structures of diameter 5 nm and length up to 1 micron. The stability of the tonoplast H(+)-ATPase was assessed in the presence of many biological detergents, using a linked assay. The addition of detergent to tonoplast membranes generally led to an increase in ATPase activity, and activity was maintained in a wide range of both non-ionic and zwitterionic detergents. Using the non-ionic detergent dodecyl maltoside, the tonoplast H(+)-ATPase was partially purified using ion-exchange chromatography on an HPLC system. Very high rates of ATP hydrolysis were recorded in these fractions. The purified membranes behaved as expected in the presence of known activators and inhibitors. An unexpected observation, however, was that low concentrations of vanadate could significantly increase the rate of H(+)-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Clathrin-coated vesicles play an important role in both receptor-mediated endocytosis and intracellular membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells. The coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase functions to provide the acidic environment within endosomes and other intracellular compartments necessary for receptor recycling and intracellular membrane traffic. The coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase is composed of nine different subunits which are divided into two distinct domains. The peripheral V1 domain, which has the structure 73(3):58(3):40(1):34(1):33(1), possesses the nucleotide binding sites of the (H+)-ATPase. The integral V0 domain, which has the composition 100(1):38(1):19(1):17(6), contains the pathway for proton conduction across the membrane. Topographical analysis indicates a structure for the coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase very similar to that of the F-type ATPases. Reassembly studies have allowed us to probe the function of particular subunits in this complex and the activity properties of the separate domains. These studies have led to insights into possible mechanisms of regulating vacuolar acidification.

Abstract
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa has many small vacuoles which, like mammalian lysosomes, contain hydrolytic enzymes. They also store large amounts of phosphate and basic amino acids. To generate an acidic interior and to drive the transport of small molecules, the vacuolar membranes are densely studded with a proton-pumping ATPase. The vacuolar ATPase is a large enzyme, composed of 8-10 subunits. These subunits are arranged into two sectors, a complex of peripheral subunits called V1 and an integral membrane complex called V0. Genes encoding three of the subunits have been isolated. vma-1 and vma-2 encode polypeptides homologous to the alpha and beta subunits of F-type ATPases. These subunits appear to contain the sites of ATP binding and hydrolysis. vma-3 encodes a highly hydrophobic polypeptide homologous to the proteolipid subunit of vacuolar ATPases from other organisms. This subunit may form part of the proton-containing pathway through the membrane. We have examined the structures of the genes and attempted to inactivate them.

Abstract
The vacuolar H(+)-translocating ATPase (V-type ATPase) plays a central role in the growth and development of plant cells. In a mature cell, the vacuole is the largest intracellular compartment, occupying about 90% of the cell volume. The proton electrochemical gradient (acid inside) formed by the vacuolar ATPase provides the primary driving force for the transport of numerous ions and metabolites against their electrochemical gradients. The uptake and release of solutes across the vacuolar membrane is fundamental to many cellular processes, such as osmoregulation, signal transduction, and metabolic regulation. Vacuolar ATPases may also reside on endomembranes, such as Golgi and coated vesicles, and thus may participate in intracellular membrane traffic, sorting, and secretion. Plant vacuolar ATPases are large complexes (400-650 kDa) composed of 7-10 different subunits. The peripheral sector of 5-6 subunits includes the nucleotide-binding catalytic and regulatory subunits of approximately 70 and approximately 60 kDa, respectively. Six copies of the 16-kDa proteolipid together with 1-3 other subunits make up the integral sector that forms the H+ conducting pathway. Isoforms of plant vacuolar ATPases are suggested by the variations in subunit composition observed among and within plant species, and by the presence of a small multigene family encoding the 16-kDa and 70-kDa subunits. Multiple genes may encode isoforms with specific properties required to serve the diverse functions of vacuoles and endomembrane compartments.

Abstract
Proton ATPases function in biological energy conversion in every known living cell. Their ubiquity and antiquity make them a prime source for evolutionary studies. There are two related families of H(+)-ATPases; while the family of F-ATPases function in eubacteria chloroplasts and mitochondria, the family of V-ATPases are present in archaebacteria and the vacuolar system of eukaryotic cells. Sequence analysis of several subunits of V- and F-ATPases revealed several of the important steps in their evolution. Moreover, these studies shed light on the evolution of the various organelles of eukaryotes and suggested some events in the evolution of the three kingdoms of eubacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes.

Abstract
Subunit A of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase class is thought to be responsible for the ATP hydrolysis which drives proton-pumping. We report here the cloning and sequence determination of the first mammalian cDNA encoding a bovine vacuolar ATPase subunit A from an adrenal medulla cDNA library. Northern blots of bovine adrenal medulla RNA reveal a message of approximately 3.8 kb. The predicted peptide sequence, consisting of 618 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 68397 daltons, is similar to the sequences of the three known subunit A proteins. beta-Galactosidase-subunit A fusion proteins were immuno-decorated by an antiserum raised to the subunit A protein from corn coleoptile vacuoles.
