Crystal Structure of the heterotrimeric EGChead Peripheral Stalk Complex of the Yeast Vacuolar ATPase
Structural highlights
Function[VATC_YEAST] Subunit of the peripheral V1 complex of vacuolar ATPase. Subunit C acts as a flexible stator that holds together the catalytic and the membrane sectors of the enzyme. Reversibly leaves the enzyme after glucose depletion, causing the catalytic subcomplex V1 to detach from the V0 section. Binds ATP and is likely to have a specific function in the catalytic activity of the catalytic sector. V-ATPase is responsible for acidifying a variety of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells.[1] [VATE_YEAST] Subunit of the peripheral V1 complex of vacuolar ATPase essential for assembly or catalytic function. V-ATPase is responsible for acidifying a variety of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. [VATG_YEAST] Catalytic subunit of the peripheral V1 complex of vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase). V-ATPase is responsible for acidifying a variety of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. Publication Abstract from PubMedVacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are multisubunit rotary motor proton pumps that function to acidify subcellular organelles in all eukaryotic organisms. V-ATPase is regulated by a unique mechanism that involves reversible dissociation into V(1)-ATPase and V(o) proton channel, a process that involves breaking of protein interactions mediated by subunit C, the cytoplasmic domain of subunit "a" and three "peripheral stalks," each made of a heterodimer of E and G subunits. Here, we present crystal structures of a yeast V-ATPase heterotrimeric complex composed of EG heterodimer and the head domain of subunit C (C(head)). The structures show EG heterodimer folded in a noncanonical coiled coil that is stabilized at its N-terminal ends by binding to C(head). The coiled coil is disrupted by a bulge of partially unfolded secondary structure in subunit G and we speculate that this unique feature in the eukaryotic V-ATPase peripheral stalk may play an important role in enzyme structure and regulation by reversible dissociation.
