Regulator of the H-ATPase of the vacuolar and endosomal membranes (RAVE) is essential for the reversible assembly of H-ATPase. RAVE primarily consists of three subunits: Rav1p, Rav2p and Skp1p. To characterize these subunits, in this study, four strains derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 were constructed with a FLAG tag on the Rav1p and Rav2p subunits. Then, the corresponding RAVE containing complex was isolated by affinity purification. Western blot and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses showed that the RAVE complex contains not only the known V-ATPase subunits (Vma1p and Vma2p) but also a newly found Leu1p that interacts with the RAVE subunit. Furthermore, we constructed rav1-/rav2-/vma2-/leu1-deficient recombinants by fusion PCR and homologous recombination and demonstrated that leu1 is indispensable in adjusting the microbial cell to adverse environments and that the function is similar to that of rav1/rav2 but significantly differs from that of vma2. Leu1p probably plays an important role in RAVE regulation of V-ATPase activity in conjunction with RAVE.

The mechanisms governing mammalian proton pump V-ATPase function are of fundamental and medical interest. The assembly and disassembly of cytoplasmic V1 domain with the membrane-embedded V0 domain of V-ATPase is a key aspect of V-ATPase localization and function. Here, we show that the mammalian protein ATG16L1, primarily appreciated for its role in canonical autophagy and in noncanonical membrane atg8ylation processes, controls V-ATPase.

Bisphenol F (BPF), a widely used substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), has raised growing concerns due to its potential metabolic toxicity. Recent studies suggest that BPF exposure is associated with lipid accumulation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-like changes, however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study was performed to investigate the BPF-induced NAFLD-like changes through the lipid degradative pathway, which via an unrecognized defect of lipophagy mediated by Adipose Triglyceride Lipase (ATGL)-Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) signaling axis.

Cells adapt to nutrient limitation by activating catabolic and inhibiting anabolic pathways, yet prolonged stress may lead to cell death. How cells orchestrate metabolic adaptation and cell death to nutrient stress is poorly understood. We conduct a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen to identify regulators in glucose-starvation-induced cell death and find a group of genes in lysosomal pathway is enriched following glucose starvation.

In yeast, early adaptation to hyperosmotic stress involves organelle-based mechanisms, including synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P) at the vacuole. This low-level signaling lipid drives vacuolar fragmentation and activates the V-ATPase proton pump, which acidifies the vacuole and drives salt sequestration. The vacuole-resident V-ATPase subunit Vph1 interacts with PI(3,5)P via its N-terminal domain (Vph1NT), directly linking lipid signaling to proton pump regulation.

The vacuolar-type H-ATPase (V-ATPase) has emerged as a promising molecular target for the development of new pesticides. In our previous work, we employed computer-aided drug design (CADD) strategies targeting the V-ATPase H subunit of the Mythimna separata. Through homology modeling, virtual screening, and lead compound synthesis, we successfully identified 4-propargyloxybenzenesulfonamide as a potent insecticidal compound.
