Vacuolar H-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a glucose-responsive, ATP-driven proton pump that controls the acidity of cellular organelles. Increases in glucose stimulate V-ATPase assembly and activity, and glucose deprivation triggers rapid V-ATPase disassembly and inactivation in yeast. McGuire and Forgac describe the opposite phenomenon in mammalian cells, specifically that V-ATPase assembly and activation increases when glucose is lost, raising new questions about mammalian mechanisms of energy conservation.
液泡型 H+-ATP 酶(V-ATPase)是一种葡萄糖响应的、ATP 驱动的质子泵,可控制细胞细胞器的酸度。葡萄糖的增加会刺激 V-ATPase 的组装和活性,而葡萄糖剥夺会触发酵母中 V-ATPase 的快速解体和失活。McGuire 和 Forgac 描述了哺乳动物细胞中相反的现象,即当葡萄糖丢失时 V-ATPase 的组装和激活增加,这引发了关于哺乳动物能量守恒机制的新问题。
