Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring C015 / 5379

Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring, molecular model. V-ATPases (vacuolar-type ATPase) are evolutionarily ancient enzymes that helps transport ions across cell membranes, usually protons and in this case sodium ions. The underlying reaction providing the energy is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is catalysed by this enzyme. This example of a V-ATPase is from the Enterococcus hirae bacterium. This rotor ring is part of the structure through which the ions pass as they cross the cell membrane. The ring contains 10 subunits (protein chains), indicated by the colours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring C015/5379. V-ATPases, which are ancient enzymes found in various organisms, play a crucial role in transporting ions across cell membranes. In this case, they facilitate the movement of sodium ions and protons using the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. Derived from the Enterococcus hirae bacterium, this particular example of a V-ATPase rotor ring is an essential component through which ions traverse the cell membrane. The ring consists of ten subunits or protein chains, each distinguished by vibrant colors against a striking black background. The detailed illustration provides valuable insights into the structural and biochemical aspects of this macromolecule. It highlights key features such as ion channels and transmembrane pathways that enable efficient ion transport within cells. With its meticulous cut-out design and precise depiction of proteins and molecules involved in ATP hydrolysis, this artwork serves as a visual representation of complex cellular processes at work. Its inclusion in scientific research aids our understanding of biochemistry, molecular biology, proteomics, and cell biology.
