Abstract excerpt
V-ATPases play multiple roles in eukaryotes: in Drosophila, null mutations are recessive lethal. Here, mutations underlying five extant lethal alleles of vha55, encoding the B subunit, were identified, including a premature termination codon and two mutations very close to residues thought to participate in the catalytic site of the enzyme. Lethality of these alleles could be reverted by transformation of flies...
