description: >-
  ATP6V0C encodes the 16 kDa proteolipid subunit c of the V0 domain of vacuolar H+-ATPase
  (V-ATPase).
  This small (155 amino acid) integral membrane protein with four transmembrane helices
  is a core
  structural component of the proton-conducting c-ring rotor. Nine copies of ATP6V0C
  assemble with
  one copy of ATP6V0B (subunit c'') to form the complete c-ring within the V0 membrane
  domain.
  The c-ring rotates during ATP hydrolysis by the V1 domain, enabling proton translocation
  across
  membranes via a conserved glutamate residue (E139) that serves as the proton-binding
  site.
  ATP6V0C-containing V-ATPases acidify lysosomes, endosomes, Golgi, synaptic vesicles,
  and
  secretory granules, and in specialized cells (osteoclasts, kidney intercalated cells)
  also
  function at the plasma membrane. ATP6V0C is the binding target of the V-ATPase inhibitor
  bafilomycin A1. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in ATP6V0C cause early-onset epilepsy
  with
  or without developmental delay (EPEO3, OMIM 620465).

      ATP6V0C is an integral membrane protein with four transmembrane helices that

  review:
    summary: >-
      This annotation is INCORRECT for ATP6V0C. V-ATPases are proton PUMPS that
      use ATP hydrolysis
      to drive proton transport, not ATP synthases that use proton gradients to
      synthesize ATP.
      This is a common confusion arising from structural similarity between V-ATPases
      and F-ATPases.
    action: REMOVE
    reason: >-
      V-ATPases function in the OPPOSITE direction to ATP synthases. V-ATPases hydrolyze
      ATP to
      pump protons, creating acidification. F-ATP synthases use proton gradients
      to synthesize ATP.
      While the two enzyme families are evolutionarily related and share structural
      features,
      their functions are distinct. ATP6V0C is exclusively a component of V-ATPases.
