Function

VATA_YEAST Catalytic subunit of the peripheral V1 complex of vacuolar ATPase. V-ATPase (vacuolar ATPase) is responsible for acidifying a variety of intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. It is an electrogenic proton pump that generates a proton motive force of 180 mV, inside positive and acidic, in the vacuolar membrane vesicles. It may participate in maintenance of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) homeostasis. This is a catalytic subunit.[1] PI-SceI is an endonuclease that can cleave at a site present in a VMA1 allele that lacks the derived endonuclease segment of the open reading frame; cleavage at this site only occurs during meiosis and initiates "homing", a genetic event that converts a VMA1 allele lacking VDE into one that contains it.[2]
