description: 'ATP6V1C1 encodes the C1 subunit of the V1 peripheral domain of the
  vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). The V1 complex hydrolyzes ATP to drive proton
  translocation through the membrane-embedded V0 domain. Subunit C (C1) is a regulatory
  subunit present in a single copy per V1 complex, where it is necessary for assembly
  of the catalytic V1 sector and likely has a specific function in its catalytic activity.
  ATP6V1C1 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. The paralog ATP6V1C2 is expressed
  specifically in testes. V-ATPase acidifies lysosomes, endosomes, Golgi, and secretory
  vesicles; ATP6V1C1 is found at the lysosomal membrane and at synaptic vesicle and
  clathrin-coated vesicle membranes (by similarity). During regulated V1-V0 disassembly
  under nutrient starvation, the V1 complex including C1 is released into the cytosol.'

core_functions:
- description: ATP6V1C1 is the ubiquitously expressed C1 regulatory subunit of the
    V1 domain of the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase. As a single-copy subunit of the V1
    complex, C1 is necessary for assembly of the catalytic V1 sector and is required
    for V-ATPase function. The assembled V-ATPase complex acidifies lysosomes, endosomes,
    and other intracellular compartments using its proton-transporting ATPase activity
    via a rotational mechanism.

suggested_questions:
- question: Does the C1 subunit have a direct catalytic role (e.g., direct contact
    with ATP or the rotating central stalk) or is its function purely structural/regulatory
    for V1 assembly?
- question: What is the structural basis for the requirement of subunit C in V1 assembly?
    Are there specific protein-protein contacts in the cryo-EM structure that explain
    why C is assembly-essential?
- question: Under what physiological conditions does V1-V0 disassembly occur in human
    cells, and what happens to the released free C1 subunit?
- question: Are there disease-causing mutations in ATP6V1C1 (analogous to the dominant
    mutations in ATP6V1B2 that cause DDOD/ZLS2)?
- question: Is there functional redundancy between ATP6V1C1 (ubiquitous) and ATP6V1C2
    (testis) in any tissue type?

suggested_experiments:
- hypothesis: Subunit C1 directly contacts the EG peripheral stalk subunits and the
    a-subunit of V0 during V1-V0 assembly.
  description: Use site-specific crosslinking mass spectrometry combined with cryo-EM
    to map direct contacts of C1 within the assembled V-ATPase and during V1-V0 assembly
    intermediates.
  experiment_type: STRUCTURAL_BIOLOGY
- hypothesis: Loss of ATP6V1C1 impairs lysosomal acidification and mTORC1 signaling
    in human cells.
  description: Generate ATP6V1C1 knockout human cell lines using CRISPR-Cas9 and
    measure lysosomal pH by ratiometric fluorescent probes and mTORC1 activity by
    S6K1 phosphorylation.
  experiment_type: CELL_BIOLOGY
- hypothesis: ATP6V1C2 can compensate for loss of ATP6V1C1 in non-testicular cell
    types.

    rescue of lysosomal acidification and V-ATPase assembly by blue native PAGE and
