The Cellular Biology of Proton-Motive Force Generation by V-ATPases

Abstract: The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is one of the most fundamental enzymes in nature. It functions in almost every eukaryotic cell and energizes a wide variety of organelles and membranes. In contrast to F-ATPases, whose primary function in eukaryotic cells is to form ATP at the expense of the proton-motive force, V-ATPases function exclusively as ATP-dependent proton pumps. The proton-motive force generated by V-ATPases in organelles and across plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells is utilized as a driving for… Show more

“…A second example showcasing the simulation protocol presented here is provided by the pathway of ADP inhibition in the hexameric ring of the molecular motor V 1 -ATPase . Vacuolar ATPases, or V-ATPases, are thought to originate from an ancestral enzyme in common with the more ubiquitous F-ATPases .…”

“…After outlining the theoretical underpinnings of the computational strategy, we provide a workflow for modeling chemomechanical coupling in molecular motors. The strategy is then showcased in two concrete examples, namely ADP inhibition of vacuolar V 1 -ATPase motor action, 59,60 and the compression− decompression stroke in the 6A-deoxy-6A-(N-methyl-3-phenylpropionamido)-β-cyclodextrin motor. 22 ■ METHODS Theoretical Underpinnings.…”

“…The pH values vary in different cellular compartments: 7.0–7.4 in the cytoplasm, 7.2 for ER, 6.4 in the Golgi apparatus, 5.0 in lysosomes, 5.4 in secretory granules, 6.2 in early endosomes, and 5.3 in late endosomes ( Futai et al, 2000 ). The pH values of organelles are maintained mainly by vacuolar H + -ATPase (V-ATPase), which actively pumps H + against its concentration gradient with the energy from ATP hydrolysis ( Nelson et al, 2000 ). The pH environment is important for the functions of the organelles.…”

“…The synthesis of ATP is an endergonic process, which requires an input of energy; the flow of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through the electron transport chain is an exergonic process, which releases energy. 5 In simple terms, if the ADP is converted to ATP, the energy could be consumed; if the reaction is blocked and the ADP could not be converted to ATP, the energy could be released as heat, which would make the temperature increase in the mitochondria. Therefore, the synthesis of ATP is significantly affected by the temperature at which oxidative phosphorylation occurs.…”

“…Intracellular energy release supports the function of many organelles and subcellular organelles. In mitochondria, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is an important metabolic pathway by which enzymes oxidize metabolites, producing energy in the form of ATP. During the OXPHOS reaction, the ATP synthase (complex V) is the final enzyme in the OXPHOS pathway, and the reaction is shown below: …”
