Abstract
V-ATPases are highly conserved proton pumps that are found in all eukaryotic cells. They play vital housekeeping roles in cell physiological processes by performing their classical functions in acidifying luminal compartments of a variety of endomembrane organelles. Recently, it has become evident that V-ATPases also have nonclassical roles that require their direct interaction, apart from their proton translocating function. Moreover, V-ATPases can have specialized tissue-specific functions in organisms, where V-ATPase mutations or inappropriate expression can result in pathological conditions. Because of their multi-subunit structure and numerous subunit variants, V-ATPase expression and function may be uniquely fine-tuned for specific, biologically significant roles. From an interventionist point of view, these same traits potentially make V-ATPases uniquely selectively targetable, both within an organism and among different species. Recent examples, that have at least provided proof of principle for this notion, span fields ranging from medicine to agriculture. The study of V-ATPases in the last three decades has produced thousands of publications and many dozens of review articles. The present work seeks to provide a concise overview of the more recent works on structure and function of V-ATPases, their occurrence and importance, how they are regulated, and how they might be targeted. We focus on recent primary literature, but historical papers of interest and important reviews are also cited. In the areas of targeted pharmaceutical and pesticidal intervention we present published strategies for drug discovery and also provide relevant proofs of concept for targeting V-ATPases to the benefit human health and prosperity.
