description: >-
  ATP6V0E2 encodes the "e2" form of the V-type proton ATPase (V-ATPase) subunit e,
  a small (81 aa, ~9.2 kDa) integral membrane protein with two transmembrane
  helices. It is one of two e-subunit paralogs in human (e1 = ATP6V0E1, e2 =
  ATP6V0E2) and is an accessory membrane component of the V0 proton-translocation
  sector of the V-ATPase. The V-ATPase is a rotary proton pump composed of a
  peripheral, cytoplasmic V1 sector that hydrolyzes ATP and a membrane-integral V0
  sector that translocates protons across the membrane; together they acidify and
  maintain the pH of intracellular compartments including lysosomes, endosomes,
  the Golgi, secretory vesicles, synaptic vesicles, clathrin-coated vesicles and
  phagosomes, and in some cell types the plasma membrane. As a V0 subunit, e2
  contributes to the assembly and proton-pumping function of the holoenzyme;
  yeast complementation studies show the e-subunit is essential for proper pump
  function. Unlike the ubiquitously expressed e1, ATP6V0E2 has a more restricted
  tissue distribution with high expression in heart, brain and kidney.

    summary: >-
      Phylogenetically-inferred annotation that ATP6V0E2 is involved in proton
      transmembrane transport, consistent with its role as a V0-sector subunit of

  review:
    summary: >-
      Sequence-similarity transfer (from Q3E7B6) that e2 is involved in vacuolar
      acidification, the defining physiological output of V-ATPase proton
      transport. Well supported by the gene/protein name and the UniProt function.
    action: ACCEPT
    reason: >-
      Acidification of intracellular compartments is the direct downstream
      consequence of the proton transport that e2 contributes to; consistent with
      the lysosomal e2 alternative name and UniProt FUNCTION.

  review:
    summary: >-
      Generic ATPase-coupled ion transporter activity transferred by similarity.
      The more specific and accurate molecular function for this V-ATPase subunit
      is GO:0046961 (proton-transporting ATPase activity, rotational mechanism),
      which is already annotated. This broader term is redundant and less precise,
      and e2 contributes to rather than independently enables transporter activity.
    action: MODIFY
    reason: >-
      A more specific term that accurately captures the rotational proton-pumping
      mechanism of the V-ATPase is available and already used; the generic term
      should be replaced by it.

    As an accessory membrane subunit (e2) of the V0 proton-translocation sector of
    the vacuolar H+-ATPase, ATP6V0E2 contributes to ATP-hydrolysis-driven,
    rotational-mechanism proton transport across endomembranes, thereby acidifying
    intracellular compartments such as lysosomes and endosomes.

suggested_questions:
- question: >-
    Do the e1 (ATP6V0E1) and e2 (ATP6V0E2) subunits confer distinct
    compartment-specific or tissue-specific V-ATPase functions, given e2's
    restricted expression in heart, brain and kidney?
- question: >-
    Is e2 incorporated into V-ATPase complexes with particular V0 a-subunit
    isoforms (ATP6V0A1-A4), as suggested by the multiple ComplexPortal variant
    complexes listing this subunit?
suggested_experiments:
- description: >-
    Targeted knockout/knockdown of ATP6V0E2 in cell types with high e2 expression
    (e.g., kidney or brain-derived cells) followed by ratiometric measurement of
    lysosomal/endosomal pH to test its specific contribution to compartment
    acidification relative to e1.
- description: >-
    Affinity purification of assembled V-ATPase from e2-expressing tissues coupled
    to mass spectrometry and cryo-EM to define which V0 a-subunit variant complexes
    incorporate e2 versus e1.
