Several of the 13 subunits comprising mammalian H(+)-ATPases have multiple alternative forms, encoded by separate genes and with differing tissue expression patterns. These may play an important role in the intracellular localization and activity of H(+)-ATPases. Here we report the cloning of a previously uncharacterized human gene, ATP6V0E2, encoding a novel H(+)-ATPase e-subunit designated e2. We demonstrate that in contrast to the ubiquitously expressed gene encoding the e1 subunit (previously called e), this novel gene is expressed in a more restricted tissue distribution, particularly kidney and brain. We show by complementation studies in a yeast strain deficient for the ortholog of this subunit, that either form of the e-subunit is essential for proper proton pump function. The identification of this novel form of the e-subunit lends further support to the hypothesis that subunit differences may play a key role in the structure, site and function of H(+)-ATPases within the cell.
Protein involved in the transport of ions. Such proteins are usually transmembrane and mediate a movement of ions across cell membranes. Transport may be passive (facilitated diffusion; down the electrochemical gradient), or active (against the electrochemical gradient). Active transport requires energy which may come from light, oxidation reactions, ATP hydrolysis, or cotransport of other ions or molecules.
Protein involved in the transport of a molecule (metabolite, protein, etc), a ion or an electron across cell membranes, inside the cell or in a tissue fluid.
Enzyme which catalyzes hydrolysis reaction, i.e. the addition of the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions of water to a molecule with its consequent splitting into two or more simpler molecules.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
