In neurons, the loading of neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles uses energy from proton-pumping vesicular- or vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatases (V-ATPases). These membrane protein complexes possess numerous subunit isoforms, which complicates their analysis. We isolated homogeneous rat brain V-ATPase through its interaction with SidK, a <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> effector protein. Cryo-electron microscopy allowed the construction of an atomic model, defining the enzyme's ATP:proton ...[more]
