Abstract excerpt
Subunit a of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPases plays an important role in proton transport. This membrane-integral 100-kDa subunit is thought to form or contribute to proton-conducting hemichannels that allow protons to gain access to and leave buried carboxyl groups on the proteolipid subunits (c, c', and c″) during proton translocation. We previously demonstrated that subunit a contains a large N-terminal cytoplasmic...
