Analysis of the membrane topology of transmembrane segments in the C-terminal hydrophobic domain of the yeast vacuolar ATPase subunit a (Vph1p) by chemical modification.

Abstract excerpt

The integral V(0) domain of the vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (V-ATPases) provides the pathway by which protons are transported across the membrane. Subunit a is a 100-kDa integral subunit of V(0) that plays an essential role in proton translocation. To better define the membrane topology of subunit a, unique cysteine residues were introduced into a Cys-less form of the yeast subunit a (Vph1p) and the accessibility of...
