description: >-
  ATP6V0A1 encodes the a1 isoform of the V0 membrane sector of the vacuolar H+-ATPase. It is a multi-pass
  membrane subunit that helps assemble the proton-translocation sector of V-ATPase complexes on endolysosomal,
  synaptic vesicle, secretory vesicle, melanosomal, and specialized plasma membranes. By contributing
  to ATP-driven proton transport, ATP6V0A1 supports acidification of lysosomes, endosomes, synaptic vesicles,
  and related organelles; pathogenic variants impair endolysosomal acidification and cause severe neurodevelopmental
  disease with synaptic and autophagy defects.

    review:
      summary: >-
        NEW annotation from conservative PN projection review. ATP6V0A1 already has generic V0-domain
        and lysosomal membrane/acidification annotations; GO:0046610 adds the lysosomal V0-domain specificity
        supported by the PN row and independent ATP6V0A1/V-ATPase evidence.
      action: NEW
      reason: >-
        The PN candidate is not accepted merely by propagation. It is retained because ATP6V0A1 is a V0-sector
        a-subunit, V-ATPase operates on lysosomal/endolysosomal membranes, and ATP6V0A1 variants directly
        impair lysosomal/endolysosomal acidification.

suggested_questions:
  - question: For human ATP6V0A1, which cell types have direct evidence for a1-containing V-ATPase 
      at the plasma membrane rather than endolysosomal or secretory vesicle membranes?
  - question: Do the annotated UniProt isoforms differ in compartment targeting or V0 assembly 
      efficiency in neurons or other tissues?
suggested_experiments:
  - hypothesis: ATP6V0A1 isoforms differ in endolysosomal versus synaptic vesicle targeting in 
      neuronal cells.

      colocalization with lysosomal, endosomal, and synaptic vesicle markers together with
