Bone homeostasis is tightly regulated by matrix-producing osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. During osteoclast development, mononuclear preosteoclasts derived from myeloid cells fuse together to form multinucleated, giant cells. Previously, we reported that the d2 isoform of the vacuolar (H(+)) ATPase V0 domain (Atp6v0d2) plays an important role in osteoclast maturation and bone formation. To understand how Atp6v0d2 controls osteoclast maturation, we have performed a yeast two-hybrid sc ...[more]
