Crystal Structure of subunit C (vma5p) of the yeast V-ATPase
Overview
Vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) has a crucial role in the vacuolar system, of eukaryotic cells. It provides most of the energy required for transport, systems that utilize the proton-motive force that is generated by ATP, hydrolysis. Some, but not all, of the V-ATPase subunits are homologous to, those of F-ATPase and the nonhomologous subunits determine the unique, features of V-ATPase. We determined the crystal structure of V-ATPase, subunit C (Vma5p), which does not show any homology with F-ATPase, subunits, at 1.75 A resolution. The structural features suggest that, subunit C functions as a flexible stator that holds together the catalytic, and membrane sectors of the enzyme. A second crystal form that was solved, at 2.9 A resolution supports the flexible nature of subunit C. These, structures provide a framework for exploring the unique mechanistic, features of V-ATPases.
