The Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is composed of at least 13 polypeptides organized into two distinct domains, V(1) and V(0), that are structurally and mechanistically similar to the F(1)-F(0) domains of the F-type ATP synthases. The peripheral V(1) domain is responsible for ATP hydrolysis and is coupled to the mechanism of proton translocation. The integral V(0) domain is responsible for the translocation of protons across the membrane and is composed of five different polypeptides. Unlike the F(0) domain of the F-type ATP synthase, which contains 12 copies of a single 8-kDa proteolipid, the V-ATPase V(0) domain contains three proteolipid species, Vma3p, Vma11p, and Vma16p, with each proteolipid contributing to the mechanism of proton translocation (Hirata, R., Graham, L. A., Takatsuki, A., Stevens, T. H., and Anraku, Y. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 4795-4803). Experiments with hemagglutinin- and c-Myc epitope-tagged copies of the proteolipids revealed that each V(0) complex contains all three species of proteolipid with only one copy each of Vma11p and Vma16p but multiple copies of Vma3p. Since the proteolipids of the V(0) complex are predicted to possess four membrane-spanning alpha-helices, twice as many as a single F-ATPase proteolipid subunit, only six V-ATPase proteolipids would be required to form a hexameric ring-like structure similar to the F(0) domain. Therefore, each V(0) complex will likely be composed of four copies of the Vma3p proteolipid in addition to Vma11p and Vma16p. Structural differences within the membrane-spanning domains of both V(0) and F(0) may account for the unique properties of the ATP-hydrolyzing V-ATPase compared with the ATP-generating F-type ATP synthase.
