Projection maps of a V(1)-Vma5p hybrid complex, composed of subunit C (Vma5p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae V-ATPase and the C-depleted V(1) from Manduca sexta, were determined from single particle electron microscopy. V(1)-Vma5p consists of a headpiece and an elongated wedgelike stalk with a 2.1x3.0 nm protuberance and a 9.5x7.5 globular domain, interpreted to include Vma5p. The interaction face of Vma5p in V(1) was explored by chemical modification experiments.

The key gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is induced during glucose starvation. After the addition of glucose, inactivated FBPase is selectively targeted to Vid (vacuolar import and degradation) vesicles and then to the vacuole for degradation. To identify proteins involved in this pathway, we screened various libraries for mutants that failed to degrade FBPase.

V-ATPase is a multi-subunit membrane protein complex, it translocates protons across biological membranes, generating electrical and pH gradients which are used for varieties of cellular processes. V-ATPase is composed of two distinct sub-complexes: a membrane bound V0 sub-complex, composed of 6 different subunits, which is responsible for proton transport and a soluble cytosolic facing V1 sub-complex, composed of 8 different subunits which hydrolyse ATP. The two sub-complexes are held together via a flexible stator.

Vacuolar ATPases (V1V0 -ATPases) function in proton translocation across lipid membranes of subcellular compartments. We have used antibody labeling and electron microscopy to define the position of subunit C in the vacuolar ATPase from yeast. The data show that subunit C is binding at the interface of the ATPase and proton channel, opposite from another stalk density previously identified as subunit H [Wilkens S.

The ability of subunit C of eukaryotic V-ATPases to bind ADP and ATP is demonstrated by photoaffinity labeling and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Quantitation of the photoaffinity and the FCS data indicate that the ATP-analogues bind more weakly to subunit C than the ADP-analogues. Site-directed mutagenesis and N-terminal sequencing of subunit C from Arabidopsis (VHA-C) and yeast (Vma5p) have been used to map the C-terminal region of subunit C as the nucleotide-binding site.
