Structural properties of vacuolar proton pumps.
It is well established that acidification within the collecting duct system is effected by means of a sodium-independent, electrogenic proton translocating ATPase [11. This proton pump belongs to a new class of proton pumps, termed vacuolar, which encompasses a group of very closely related enzymes that are widespread in distribution. Indeed, the vast majority of enzymatic activity relevant to ...
متن کاملVacuolar-type proton pumps in insect epithelia.
Active transepithelial cation transport in insects was initially discovered in Malpighian tubules, and was subsequently also found in other epithelia such as salivary glands, labial glands, midgut and sensory sensilla. Today it appears to be established that the cation pump is a two-component system of a H(+)-transporting V-ATPase and a cation/nH(+) antiporter. After tracing the discovery of th...

متن کاملStructural organization of the yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase The yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase
The yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (VATPase) is structurally very similar to the V-ATPases of other fungi, plants and animals (for reviews, see Stevens and Forgac, 1997; Forgac, 1999; Nelson and Harvey, 1999). In all these systems, the V-ATPase is composed of a complex of peripheral membrane proteins containing the ATP binding sites attached to a complex of integral membrane protein...
متن کاملFe deficiency differentially affects the vacuolar proton pumps in cucumber and soybean roots
Iron uptake in dicots depends on their ability to induce a set of responses in root cells including rhizosphere acidification through H(+) extrusion and apoplastic Fe(III) reduction by Fe(III)-chelate reductase. These responses must be sustained by metabolic rearrangements aimed at providing the required NAD(P)H, ATP and H(+). Previous results in Fe-deficient cucumber roots showed that high H(+...
