The pH of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells is a carefully controlled parameter that affects many cellular processes, including intracellular membrane transport, prohormone processing and transport of neurotransmitters, as well as the entry of many viruses into cells. The transporters responsible for controlling this crucial parameter in many intracellular compartments are the vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (V-ATPases). Recent advances in our understanding of the structure and regulation of…

Results indicate that a vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase is expressed in the plasma membrane of some tumor cells.
Early Steps in Assembly of the Yeast Vacuolar H+-ATPase*
TLDR
The data suggest that in wild-type cells, assembly occurs predominantly by the concerted assembly pathway, and V-ATPase complexes acquire the full complement of Vosubunits during or after exit from the endoplasmic reticulum.
