Advances in targeting the vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) for anti-fungal therapy
Vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) is a membrane-bound, multi-subunit enzyme that uses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump protons across membranes. V-ATPase activity is critical for pH homeostasis and organelle acidification as well as for

Fluoride is capable of inducing developmental neurotoxicity, yet its mechanisms remain elusive. We aimed to explore the possible role and mechanism of autophagic flux blockage caused by abnormal lysosomal pH in fluoride-induced developmental ...

Covalent targeting of the vacuolar H+-ATPase activates autophagy via mTORC1 inhibition. [PDF]
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway that eliminates aggregated proteins and damaged organelles to maintain cellular homeostasis. A major route for activating autophagy involves inhibition of the mTORC1 kinase, but current mTORC1-targeting ...

Separate roles of PKA and EPAC in renal function unraveled by the optogenetic control of cAMP levels in vivo [PDF]
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a variety of essential processes in diverse cell types, functioning via cAMP-dependent effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA) and/or exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC ...

Primary fibroblasts from CSPα mutation carriers recapitulate hallmarks of the adult onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [PDF]
Mutations in the co- chaperone protein, CSPα, cause an autosomal dominant, adult-neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (AD-ANCL). The current understanding of CSPα function exclusively at the synapse fails to explain the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP ...

Mitf is a master regulator of the v-ATPase forming an Mitf/v-ATPase/TORC1 control module for cellular homeostasis [PDF]
The v-ATPase is a fundamental eukaryotic enzyme central to cellular homeostasis. Although its impact on key metabolic regulators such as TORC1 is well-documented, our knowledge of mechanisms that regulate v-ATPase activity is limited. Here, we report that the Drosophila transcription factor Mitf is a master regulator of this holoenzyme.

Preclinical Evaluation of Ureidosulfamate Carbonic Anhydrase IX/XII Inhibitors in the Treatment of Cancers [PDF]
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a family of enzymes involved in the pH regulation of metabolically active cells/tissues. Upregulation of the CAIX/XII isoforms is associated with hypoxic tumours and clinically linked with malignant progression, treatment ...

The structure and function of the fungal V-ATPase [PDF]
ABSTRACT The fungal vacuole is a prominent organelle that functions as a storage site for amino acids, Ca2+, storage carbohydrates, inorganic phosphate and numerous hydrolases (Fig. 1) (Klionsky et al. 1990). A hallmark of fungal vacuoles is that they are acidic compartments involved in the turnover of cellular macromolecules.
