This mini-review deals with those topics of research on this enzyme which may have contributed or are expected to contribute novel and general aspects to the field of V-ATPases. Topics dealt with include novel subunits or the quaternary structure of the V-1 complex, as well as the regulation of the enzyme's function by reversible dissociation of the V-1 from the V-0 complexes and by genetic control on the transcriptional and posttranscriptional level. |
