Abstract excerpt
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...
