pubmed:abstractText
A cDNA clone encoding a hydrophilic protein with a calculated molecular mass of 13,839 Da was isolated by shotgun screening with an anti-V-ATPase holoenzyme serum. The deduced amino acid sequence showed no significant homology to any other known protein. Southern blots revealed the existence of only one gene encoding the 14-kDa protein. Monospecific antibodies purified by affinity to the recombinant protein demonstrated the presence of a 14-kDa protein in the highly purified goblet cell apical membrane and inhibited ATP-dependent proton transport as well as V-ATPase activity to the same extent. Thus, the 14-kDa protein was shown to be a part of the V-ATPase holoenzyme. Binding of the monospecific antibodies to the ATPase seemed to require an ATP-dependent conformational change of the enzyme, since inhibition only occurred when ATP was present during the antibody binding step. The 14-kDa subunit could be stripped from the membrane by treatment with the chaotropic agent KI, confirming it to be part of the soluble complex of the V-ATPase. In immunoblots, the 14-kDa-specific antibodies showed no cross-reaction with several xenic V-ATPases.
