“…Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, V-ATPase activity acidifies the lumen of various organelles, enabling pH-dependent processes and driving transmembrane transport (Forgac, 2007; Kane, 2007; Vasanthakumar and Rubinstein, 2020). Understanding of the structure-function relationship in V-ATPases has been driven by studies of the enzyme from yeast (Benlekbir et al, 2012; Mazhab-Jafari et al, 2016; Oot et al, 2016; Roh et al, 2018; Vasanthakumar et al, 2019, 2022; Zhao et al, 2015), mammals (Abbas et al, 2020; Tan et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2020a, 2020b), and insects (Muench et al, 2009). These studies revealed the overall architecture of the enzyme and the sequence of events that couples ATP hydrolysis to proton pumping.…”
