Introduction

Vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (V-ATPases)[1] are mainly found in vacuoles of eukaryotic cells where they catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in order to transport solutes. V-ATPases are structurally and mechanically related to F- and A-ATPases.[2]

V-ATPase components

The structure of the whole V-ATPase complex can be divided in two domains. The V1 domain, which consist of eight different sub-units (A-H) and is responsible for the hydrolysis of ATP, and the intermembrane V0 domain consisting of six different sub-units (a, d, e, c, c' and c") and which acts as a proton translocator from the cytoplasm to the lumen.[3]

ATP hydrolysis occurs at catalytic sites located at the interface of the A and B subunits.
