Proteins that contain a highly conserved TLDc domain (Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 LysM domain catalytic) offer protection against oxidative stress and are widely implicated in neurological health and disease. How this family of proteins exerts their function, however, is poorly understood. We have recently found that the yeast TLDc protein, Oxr1p, inhibits the proton pumping vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) by inducing disassembly of the pump. While loss of TLDc protein function in mammals shares disease phenotypes with V-ATPase defects, whether TLDc proteins impact human V-ATPase activity directly is unclear. Here we examine the effects of five human TLDc proteins, TLDC2, NCOA7, OXR1, TBC1D24, and mEAK7 on the activity of the human V-ATPase. We find that while TLDC2, TBC1D24, and the TLDc domains of OXR1 and NCOA7 inhibit V-ATPase by inducing enzyme disassembly, mEAK7 activates the pump. The data thus shed new light both on mammalian TLDc protein function and V-ATPase regulation.

Ubiquitin-like autophagy-related gene ATG8 proteins are typically associated with degradative quality control via canonical double-membrane macro-autophagosomes in the cell. ATG8 proteins have now stepped forward in non-canonical pathways in single membrane organelles. The growing interest in non-canonical ATG8 roles has been stimulated by recent links to human conditions, especially in the regulation of inflammation, neurodegeneration and cancers.

The vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase; VV) is a multi-subunit rotary nanomotor proton pump that acidifies organelles in virtually all eukaryotic cells, and extracellular spaces in some specialized tissues of higher organisms. Evidence suggests that metastatic breast cancers mislocalize V-ATPase to the plasma membrane to promote cell survival and facilitate metastasis, making the V-ATPase a potential drug target. We have generated a library of camelid single-domain antibodies (Nanobodies; Nbs) against lipid-nanodisc reconstituted yeast V-ATPase V proton channel subcomplex.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor characterized by the glioma stem cell (GSC) niche. The V-ATPase proton pump has been described as a crucial factor in sustaining GSC viability and tumorigenicity. Here we studied how patients-derived GSCs rely on V-ATPase activity to sustain mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell growth.

Declines in lysosomal acidification and function with aging are observed in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. V-ATPases play a central role in organelle acidification, and V-ATPase activity is regulated by reversible disassembly in many different settings. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a replicative aging model, we demonstrate that V-ATPases disassemble into their V and V subcomplexes in aging cells, with release of V subunit C (Vma5) from the lysosome-like vacuole into the cytosol.

6:2 chloro-polyfluorooctane ether sulfonate (F-53B) is considered neurotoxic, but its mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of F-53B on neuronal cells, focusing on the role of the V-ATPase-AMPK axis in the mechanism of abnormal energy metabolism. Mouse astrocytes (C8-D1A) and human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) exposed to F-53B were used as in vitro models.
