ATP6V0A2 encodes the a2 isoform of the V-type proton ATPase 116 kDa a-subunit, an integral membrane component of the V0 proton-translocation sector of the V-ATPase. The protein helps assemble and position V-ATPase activity in acidic intracellular compartments, especially early endosomes and Golgi/endolysosomal membranes, where the complex acidifies organelle lumens to support membrane trafficking, protein degradation, lysosomal function, and Golgi-dependent glycosylation. ATP6V0A2 also participates in endosomal pH-sensing through an acidification-dependent interaction with ARNO/PSCD2, and disruption of V-ATPase function affects intracellular iron availability and HIF prolyl hydroxylation. Biallelic ATP6V0A2 variants cause autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 2A and wrinkly skin syndrome with glycosylation defects.

| GO:0016471 vacuolar proton-transporting V-type ATPase complex | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: ATP6V0A2 encodes the a2 isoform of the V0 membrane sector of the V-ATPase. Complex membership is a core cellular-component annotation supported by UniProt curation and human V-ATPase structural literature. Reason: The annotation correctly places ATP6V0A2 in the vacuolar proton-transporting V-type ATPase complex. The protein is a V0 a-subunit of a multisubunit proton pump, and the V0 sector is the membrane proton-translocation module of the complex.

| GO:0046961 proton-transporting ATPase activity, rotational mechanism | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: ATP6V0A2 contributes to the rotational V-ATPase proton-pumping activity as a V0 membrane-sector subunit, but does not independently hydrolyze ATP outside the assembled complex. Reason: The contributes_to qualifier is appropriate for a subunit of the V-ATPase complex. The complex couples ATP hydrolysis in V1 to proton transfer through V0, and ATP6V0A2 is a V0 a-subunit. Supporting Evidence: file:human/ATP6V0A2/ATP6V0A2-uniprot.txt Subunit of the V0 complex of vacuolar(H+)-ATPase PMID:33065002 V-ATPases are ATP-driven proton pumps comprised of a cytoplasmic V1 complex for ATP hydrolysis and a membrane-embedded Vo complex for proton transfer. |
| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Plasma-membrane localization is plausible for V-ATPase a-subunits in some cell contexts, but ATP6V0A2 is better established in endosomal, Golgi, and lysosomal/vesicular membranes. Reason: UniProt includes cell-membrane localization and the GOA contains HPA plasma-membrane evidence, so the annotation is not rejected. It should not be treated as the main proteostasis-relevant location for ATP6V0A2, whose strongest mechanistic evidence is in intracellular acidic compartments. Supporting Evidence: file:human/ATP6V0A2/ATP6V0A2-uniprot.txt Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. PMID:16415858 The a2-isoform is targeted to early endosomes |
| GO:0007035 vacuolar acidification | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Vacuolar acidification is a correct broad biological-process annotation for ATP6V0A2 as a V-ATPase V0 subunit involved in acidification of acidic intracellular compartments. Reason: The term captures the core acidification role of the V-ATPase. For the PN batch, lysosomal lumen acidification is added separately as a more specific supported annotation, but the existing broad annotation remains biologically sound. Supporting Evidence: file:human/ATP6V0A2/ATP6V0A2-uniprot.txt V-ATPase is responsible for acidifying and maintaining the pH of intracellular compartments PMID:32001091 V-ATPases are the primary source of organellar acidification in all eukaryotes PMID:33065002 organellar V-ATPases are essential in establishing and maintaining the pH |
| GO:0051117 ATPase binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: ATPase binding is much less informative than the complex-membership and contributes_to V-ATPase activity annotations already present for ATP6V0A2. Reason: ATP6V0A2 functions as an integral V0-sector subunit. Treating ATPase binding as a gene-level molecular function risks reducing complex assembly/participation to a vague binding annotation; the more informative annotations are V-ATPase complex/V0-domain membership and contribution to proton-pumping ATPase activity.

| GO:0000220 vacuolar proton-transporting V-type ATPase, V0 domain | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | ACCEPT | Summary: The vacuolar V-ATPase V0-domain annotation matches ATP6V0A2 family/domain evidence and its role as an integral membrane V0 a-subunit. Reason: ATP6V0A2 is a member of the V-ATPase 116 kDa subunit family and is curated as a V0-complex subunit. The broader V0-domain annotation is correct; the PN-derived lysosomal V0-domain annotation is added separately where lysosomal localization is supported.

| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | IEA GO_REF:0000044 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Plasma-membrane localization is supported by UniProt/HPA-derived evidence but is secondary to the intracellular organelle acidification role. Reason: The location is plausible and appears in curated resources, but the literature most directly supporting ATP6V0A2 function emphasizes early endosomes, Golgi function, and endolysosomal acidification rather than a primary plasma-membrane role.

| GO:0010008 endosome membrane | IEA GO_REF:0000044 | ACCEPT | Summary: ATP6V0A2 is well supported at the endosome membrane, especially early endosomes, where a2-containing V-ATPase contributes to pH sensing and endocytic trafficking. Reason: The UniProt-derived IEA annotation is consistent with direct literature showing the a2 isoform is targeted to early endosomes and participates in intra-endosomal acidification-dependent ARNO recruitment and endocytic trafficking.

| GO:0033179 proton-transporting V-type ATPase, V0 domain | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: The V0-domain annotation is a core cellular-component annotation for ATP6V0A2. Reason: ATP6V0A2 is the a2 isoform of the V-ATPase 116 kDa a-subunit and belongs to the V0 membrane proton-transfer sector. This term is already aligned with the PN V0 component projection, although PN also supports a lysosomal-specific child term. Supporting Evidence: file:human/ATP6V0A2/ATP6V0A2-uniprot.txt Subunit of the V0 complex of vacuolar(H+)-ATPase PMID:33065002 V-ATPases are ATP-driven proton pumps comprised of a cytoplasmic V1 complex for ATP hydrolysis and a membrane-embedded Vo complex for proton transfer. |
| GO:0046961 proton-transporting ATPase activity, rotational mechanism | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | MODIFY | Summary: The V-ATPase rotational proton-pump activity is correct for the assembled ATP6V0A2-containing complex. ATP6V0A2 should be interpreted as contributing to this activity as a V0 subunit rather than acting as an independent ATPase. Reason: The term is biologically appropriate for ATP6V0A2-containing V-ATPase complexes, but the GOA qualifier should be changed from enables to contributes_to. The contributes_to IBA qualifier is the clearest representation of a single V0 subunit's contribution to the assembled proton pump. Proposed replacements: proton-transporting ATPase activity, rotational mechanism Supporting Evidence: file:human/ATP6V0A2/ATP6V0A2-uniprot.txt Subunit of the V0 complex of vacuolar(H+)-ATPase PMID:33065002 V-ATPases are ATP-driven proton pumps comprised of a cytoplasmic V1 complex for ATP hydrolysis and a membrane-embedded Vo complex for proton transfer. |
| GO:1902600 proton transmembrane transport | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | ACCEPT | Summary: ATP6V0A2 participates in proton transmembrane transport as part of the V-ATPase proton-translocation machinery. Reason: The V0 sector transfers protons across organelle membranes as part of the V-ATPase. ATP6V0A2 is a V0 a-subunit in this machinery, so the process annotation is appropriate.

Reason: The interaction evidence is real, but generic protein binding is uninformative and is explicitly discouraged in this review workflow. The functional meaning of the interaction is better captured in the review text as endosomal pH-sensing/trafficking, not as GO:0005515.

| GO:0001669 acrosomal vesicle | IEA GO_REF:0000107 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Acrosomal-vesicle localization is plausible by orthology for V-ATPase a-subunits but is not part of the core ATP6V0A2 proteostasis role reviewed here. Reason: The annotation comes from Ensembl orthology transfer rather than direct ATP6V0A2 literature in this review. It is retained as a possible specialized reproductive-cell location, but the main supported locations are endosome, Golgi, lysosomal, and other acidic-vesicle membranes.

Reason: The contributes_to qualifier is appropriate for ATP6V0A2 because proton translocation is performed by the assembled V-ATPase/V0 machinery rather than by the isolated subunit.

| GO:0048471 perinuclear region of cytoplasm | IEA GO_REF:0000107 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Perinuclear-region localization is compatible with Golgi/endosomal distribution but is not the most informative cellular-component annotation for ATP6V0A2. Reason: The annotation is retained as a broad localization transferred by Ensembl, but more precise experimentally supported locations include endosome membrane, Golgi membrane, and lysosomal membrane.

Reason: UniProt and review evidence support ATP6V0A2 involvement in Golgi pH control and glycosylation maturation. This is a meaningful organelle-specific acidification annotation, not merely a broad proteostasis projection.

Reason: ATP6V0A2 depletion affects HIF1A regulation indirectly through V-ATPase-dependent iron homeostasis. The paper explicitly argues against a lysosomal-degradation mechanism and focuses on PHD activity; the broad oxygen-response term should not be treated as a core ATP6V0A2 function.

V-ATPase acidification supports lysosomal degradation/autophagic flux, but PMID:22982048 does not establish ATP6V0A2 as a specific regulator of macroautophagy. Reason: The supporting paper discusses lipofuscin, autophagy, and lysosomal activity rather than ATP6V0A2-specific regulation of macroautophagy. For the PN batch, ATP6V0A2 should be represented by lysosomal acidification/V-ATPase component terms, not by a generic macroautophagy regulation term. Supporting Evidence: PMID:22982048 both the autophagosomes and the lysosomal system are not mandatory |
| GO:0005765 lysosomal membrane | HDA PMID:17897319 Integral and associated lysosomal membrane proteins. | ACCEPT | Summary: Lysosomal membrane localization is supported by lysosomal membrane proteomics and is important for the PN lysosomal V-ATPase projection.

This supports retaining the lysosomal membrane annotation and adding lysosomal V0-domain specificity.

The cited cloning paper reports a putative immune regulatory protein but does not establish the modern V-ATPase a2 mechanism as immune response. Reason: ATP6V0A2/V-ATPase activity can affect immune-cell and MHC degradation contexts indirectly, but GO:0006955 is too broad and weakly supported by PMID:2247090 for this gene. It should not be considered a core proteostasis annotation.

| GO:0007042 lysosomal lumen acidification | NAS PMID:33065002 Structures of a Complete Human V-ATPase Reveal Mechanisms of... | NEW | Summary: The PN projection proposes lysosomal lumen acidification as a more specific term than existing vacuolar acidification. This is accepted conservatively because ATP6V0A2 is a V0 V-ATPase subunit with lysosomal membrane evidence and broad human V-ATPase evidence for endosome/lysosome pH homeostasis. Reason: The PN source node is manually mapped to lysosomal lumen acidification and the gene is one of the V0 lysosomal V-ATPase pump components in the projection. Independent literature supports V-ATPase-dependent pH homeostasis of endosomes and lysosomes, and ATP6V0A2 has lysosomal membrane support.

This is accepted because ATP6V0A2 is a V0 a-subunit, GOA already supports V0-domain membership, and lysosomal membrane evidence supports the lysosomal-specific component term. Reason: The existing GOA captures the broader V0 domain but lacks the lysosomal V0-domain component term.

Download this section (compressed HTML)Q: For ATP6V0A2-containing V-ATPase complexes, which cell types and organelles carry the a2 isoform versus other a-subunit isoforms, and should any GO annotations be isoform- or tissue-context restricted?
Q: Does ATP6V0A2 have a direct lysosomal mTORC1 nutrient-sensing role distinct from its general V0-sector contribution to V-ATPase acidification?
Q: Can the ATP6V0A2-ARNO/PSCD2 interaction be represented with a more informative GO molecular-function term than generic protein binding, or should it remain as mechanistic annotation text only?
Experiment: Use endogenous tagging or isoform-specific antibodies to quantify ATP6V0A2 localization across Golgi, early endosome, late endosome, lysosome, plasma membrane, phagosome, and sperm/acrosomal compartments in relevant human cell types.
Hypothesis: ATP6V0A2 has a compartment-biased distribution that explains which lysosomal, Golgi, endosomal, and plasma-membrane GO cellular-component annotations should be core versus context-specific.
Experiment: Measure organelle pH and lysosomal proteolysis after ATP6V0A2-specific knockout or rescue, separating lysosomal lumen acidification from broader vacuolar/endosomal acidification and from other a-subunit compensation.
Hypothesis: ATP6V0A2 makes a measurable gene-specific contribution to lysosomal lumen acidification beyond general V-ATPase family membership.
Experiment: Test whether ATP6V0A2 loss alters mTORC1 recruitment/signaling at lysosomes independently of bulk organelle acidification defects.
Hypothesis: The PN nutrient-sensing placement reflects a V0-sector scaffolding or signaling role that can be experimentally separated from proton transport.
