Evidence for a vacuolar-type proton ATPase in Entamoeba histolytica.
Entamoeba histolytica is a primitive eukaryote that lacks mitochondria. Golgi and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum. Close to half of the cell volume is occupied by pinocytic vesicles, which are in continuous turnover with the plasma membrane and perform functions that in higher eukaryotic cells are taken over by lysosomes. Similar to the latter, the amebal vesicles are acidified. We repor...
متن کاملRenal vacuolar H+-ATPase.
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases are ubiquitous multisubunit complexes mediating the ATP-dependent transport of protons. In addition to their role in acidifying the lumen of various intracellular organelles, vacuolar H(+)-ATPases fulfill special tasks in the kidney. Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases are expressed in the plasma membrane in the kidney almost along the entire length of the nephron with apical and/or bas...
متن کاملThe Vacuolar H+-ATPase Mediates Intracellular Acidification Required for Neurodegeneration in C. elegans
Numerous studies implicate necrotic cell death in devastating human pathologies such as stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Investigations in both nematodes and mammals converge to implicate specific calpain and aspartyl proteases in the execution of necrotic cell death. It is believed that these proteases become activated under conditions that inflict necrotic cell death. However, the facto...
متن کاملMetaphase to Anaphase (mat) Transition–Defective Mutants inCaenorhabditis elegans
The metaphase to anaphase transition is a critical stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and, thus, it is highly regulated. Errors during this transition can lead to chromosome segregation defects and death of the organism. In genetic screens for temperature-sensitive maternal effect embryonic lethal (Mel) mutants, we have identified 32 mutants in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in which fert...
متن کاملNuclear V-Type ATPase: Focus on “Vacuolar H-ATPase in the nuclear membranes
In the accompanying article by Santos et al published in this issue of the American 14 Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology (8) the authors tested the hypothesis that the V15 type ATPase was present and functional in the NE. The authors established that the 16 nuclear pH is acidic, pH gradients across the nuclear membrane were bafilomysin and 17 concanamycin sensitive and that the V-type ATPa...
