Physiology of V-ATPases.
Protons migrate much faster than other ions through water, ice and water-lined membrane channels because they participate in hydrogen bonding and H/H20 exchange. Similarly, hydrogen bonding enables protons with amino, carbonyl, phosphoryl and sulfonyl residues to influence critically the charge, conformation and stability of proteins. Therefore, it is not surprising that regulation of proton co...
متن کاملIon Motive ATPases: V- and P-type ATPases
Biological membranes are composed of phospholipid bilayers and mark the boundaries between the cell or organelle and its exterior. There is little, if any, free diffusion of ions or hydrophilic solutes across phospholipid bilayers. Thus, to enable the cell to control the composition of its intracellular environment, nature has evolved membrane proteins that form specialized pathways across them...
متن کاملV-ATPases in phagocytic cells.
V-ATPases in phagocytic cells are known to mediate the acidification of most intracellular organelles. Proton-pump-mediated acidification of these organellar compartments is vital to numerous cell processes, including receptor recycling, protein processing and sorting and microbial degradation. Recent studies have suggested a role for V-ATPases in cytoplasmic pH homeostasis. The present discuss...
متن کاملV-ATPases as drug targets.
V-ATPases are large, complex enzymes responsible for acidification of many internal compartments in eukaryotic cells. They also occur on plasma membranes of specialized cells, where they acidify the surrounding milieu. Numerous physiological processes depend on the activity of V-ATPases, and V-ATPases are implicated as a contributing factor in multiple diseases, including osteoporosis, deafness...
متن کاملV-ATPases of the plasma membrane.
V-ATPases reside in high densities on the plasma membrane in specialized types of insect and vertebrate cells. They provide unique biochemical and electrophysiological properties that allow them to function in energizing the plasma membrane in insects, and in cellular acid excretion in vertebrates.
