About Paper:

Vacuolar-type ATPases (V-ATPases) acidify intracellular PI4P. This lipid interaction anchors mRAVE to the membrane organelles like lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus, and synaptic and enables recruitment of V1. Using AlphaFold3, we have vesicles, playing critical roles in cellular degradation, protein identified a conserved, non-canonical plekstrin-homology (PH) trafficking, and neurotransmission. V-ATPases consist of a domain in mRAVE to mediate the interaction with PI4P. Using cytosolically-disposed V1 subcomplex, which hydrolyzes ATP, live cell imaging, we found that mRAVE localizes to the Golgi, and a membrane-embedded V0 subcomplex, which pumps the major site of V-ATPase biosynthesis, likely due to the striking protons. Their assembly is essential for function, but how this enrichment of PI4P in this organelle.
