Description

ATP6V0D1 encodes the d1 subunit of the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a multi-subunit enzyme that acidifies intracellular organelles such as lysosomes, endosomes, and secretory vesicles. This proton pump is critical for protein degradation, receptor recycling, neurotransmitter loading, and cellular pH homeostasis. Dysregulation of ATP6V0D1 is linked to cancer progression, neurodegenerative diseases, and lysosomal storage disorders.

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Missense or deletion mutations that disrupt V-ATPase assembly or proton transport, leading to impaired organelle acidification.

Gain of Function (GOF)

Not well documented; overexpression in some cancers may enhance V-ATPase activity and tumor aggressiveness.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Mutations that produce a defective subunit capable of incorporating into the V-ATPase complex and inhibiting overall pump function.

Protein Summary

The ATP6V0D1 protein (UniProt P61421) is a 40 kDa component of the V0 domain of V-ATPase. It is essential for the assembly and proton translocation activity of the pump. The d1 subunit is ubiquitously expressed with high levels in brain and kidney. It interacts with other V0 subunits (a, c, c'', e) and the V1 catalytic domain. Post-translational modifications include phosphorylation, which may regulate complex assembly and activity.
