Gene Description

ATP6V1D encodes the D subunit (28 kDa) of the V1 peripheral sector of the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). Subunit D forms the central rotor of V1 together with subunit F; ATP hydrolysis by the catalytic A3B3 hexamer drives rotation of the D-F stalk, which is mechanically coupled to the V0 proteolipid c-ring to translocate protons across organelle membranes. The human V-ATPase complex is responsible for acidifying lysosomes, endosomes, the Golgi apparatus, and other intracellular compartments, and in specialized cell types for extracellular acidification at the plasma membrane. Beyond proton pumping, the V1 D subunit directly contacts the Ragulator scaffold on lysosomes, and V-ATPase activity is required for amino acid-sensitive mTORC1 activation via an inside-out signaling mechanism. ATP6V1D additionally interacts with SNX10 and localizes to the centrosome and cilium base, where the V-ATPase is required for ciliogenesis. The protein is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.

Summary: Phylogenetic inference that subunit D contributes to proton-transporting ATPase activity via rotational mechanism. Supported by the established central rotor function of subunit D in the rotary mechanism.
Reason: Subunit D is a core structural component of the V1 central rotor that directly participates in the rotary mechanism. The contributes_to qualifier is appropriate since this is a complex-level activity.
Supporting Evidence:

Supporting Evidence:
PMID:21844891
Like SNX10, V-ATPase regulates ciliogenesis in vitro and in vivo and does so synergistically with SNX10. We further discover that SNX10 and V-ATPase regulate the ciliary trafficking of Rab8a, which is a critical regulator of ciliary membrane extension.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: UniProt subcellular location vocabulary mapping based on ortholog data. V-ATPase functions on clathrin-coated vesicles for endocytic pathway acidification.
Reason: The clathrin-coated vesicle membrane localization is consistent with V-ATPase's broad role in acidifying endocytic vesicles, but is not the primary functional context for this subunit.

IEA
GO_REF:0000002

Summary: InterPro-based annotation. The enables qualifier for the whole-complex activity is somewhat imprecise for a structural subunit, but the rotational ATPase activity is the core molecular function.
Reason: The proton-transporting ATPase activity via rotational mechanism is the core molecular function of the complex in which ATP6V1D is an indispensable structural component. The IBA annotation with contributes_to is more precise, but this IEA is consistent.

IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Ensembl ortholog-transfer annotation for synaptic vesicle lumen acidification. V-ATPase acidifies synaptic vesicles to enable neurotransmitter loading. However, there is no direct evidence that the ubiquitous D subunit specifically functions in neuronal synaptic vesicles as opposed to other organelles.
Reason: Synaptic vesicle lumen acidification is a legitimate biological process in which V-ATPase participates; the D subunit is a ubiquitously expressed component that would be present in neuronal V-ATPase complexes. However, this is a non-core context relative to lysosomal/endosomal function.

ACCEPT
Summary: Direct evidence from Zoncu et al. (2011) showing the V-ATPase (specifically the V1 domain including subunit D) is required for mTORC1 activation in response to amino acids. The V1 D subunit directly contacts the Ragulator complex, and amino acids regulate this interaction.
Reason: The V-ATPase's role in amino acid sensing for mTORC1 is a genuine secondary function with direct experimental evidence. Subunit D specifically interacts with Ragulator p18 and p14 in vitro. This is well-supported functional biology beyond simple proton pumping.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22053050
the v-ATPase engages in extensive amino acid-sensitive interactions with the Ragulator, a scaffolding complex that anchors the Rag GTPases to the lysosome.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The V-ATPase contributes to GEF activator activity in the context of Ragulator-mediated Rag GTPase nucleotide exchange during amino acid signaling to mTORC1. The mechanistic link is that V-ATPase activity (ATP hydrolysis-driven rotation) is required to activate Ragulator as a GEF activator complex.
Reason: This annotation reflects a genuine but secondary function of the V-ATPase complex in mTORC1 signaling. It is mechanistically supported but is not the primary proton-pump function of the complex.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22053050
amino acids activate the Rag guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), which promote the translocation of mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface, the site of mTORC1 activation. We found that the vacuolar H(+)-adenosine triphosphatase ATPase (v-ATPase) is necessary for amino acids to activate mTORC1.

Summary: Direct experimental evidence from the Zoncu et al. (2011) study shows the V-ATPase is active at the lysosomal membrane for both proton pumping and amino acid-sensitive mTORC1 signaling.
Reason: Lysosomal membrane is the primary site of V-ATPase function, and this IDA annotation from a key mechanistic study is well-supported.
Supporting Evidence:

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The V-ATPase is required for positive regulation of mTORC1 signaling by amino acids. Subunit D directly contacts Ragulator, and ATP hydrolysis is required for mTORC1 activation. This is a genuine secondary function.
Reason: Positive regulation of TORC1 signaling is supported and real but is a secondary function of the V-ATPase complex, not the primary proton-pumping role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22053050
ATP hydrolysis and the associated rotation of the v-ATPase appear to be essential to relay an amino acid signal from the lysosomal lumen to the Rag GTPases, whereas the capacity of the v-ATPase to set up the lysosomal proton gradient is dispensable.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: NAS from a study on lipofuscin and macroautophagy (PMID:22982048). V-ATPase is required for lysosomal acidification, which is necessary for autophagosome-lysosome fusion and degradation. However, this is an indirect effect rather than a specific regulatory function.
Reason: Regulation of macroautophagy is an indirect consequence of V-ATPase's role in lysosomal acidification. The annotation overstates the specificity; the core function is lysosomal proton pumping, not macroautophagy regulation per se.

Summary: The IPI protein binding annotation from PMID:18752060 reflects specific interactions of subunit D with the V0 d subunit and with subunit F, which are mechanistically important. However, the generic protein binding term is less informative than the established subunit interactions.
Reason: The specific interactions (D-F central stalk; D-d1/d2 rotor junction) are more meaningful than a generic protein binding annotation. No specific binding term exists for the D-F or D-d interactions, but protein binding is uninformative here.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IDA from Smith et al. (2008) showing D subunit in membrane preparations. The D subunit is a peripheral membrane protein on the cytoplasmic face.
Reason: The generic membrane annotation is subsumed by the more specific lysosomal membrane and other organelle membrane annotations.

Core Functions

Central rotor component of the V1 sector of the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). Subunit D, together with subunit F, forms the central stalk that transmits ATP hydrolysis energy from the catalytic A3B3 hexamer to rotate the V0 proteolipid ring, enabling proton translocation across organelle membranes. Primary role is in acidification of lysosomes, endosomes, and the Golgi apparatus.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:33065002
    Vesicular- or vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatases (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.
  • PMID:18752060
    Energy from this reaction drives the rotation of a central stalk consisting of V1 subunits D and F and this is coupled to rotation of the V0 proteolipid ring made up of c, cβ€² and cβ€³.

Secondary role in mTORC1 amino acid sensing. The D subunit directly contacts the Ragulator scaffold (p18/p14) on lysosomes, and V-ATPase ATP hydrolysis is required upstream of Rag GTPase activation for mTORC1 translocation to lysosomes in response to amino acids.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:22053050
    the V1 component D with p18 and, to a lesser degree, with p14 (Fig. 3D). No direct interactions were detected between the Rag GTPases and purified v-ATPase subunits

Secondary role in ciliogenesis. Via interaction with SNX10, the V-ATPase (including subunit D) is targeted to the centrosome and cilium base, where it regulates ciliary trafficking of Rab8a and cilium assembly.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:21844891
    V-ATPase regulates ciliogenesis in vitro and in vivo and does so synergistically with SNX10.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the role of subunit D in the Ragulator interaction specific to this subunit, or shared by other V1 subunits? What is the structural basis of D-Ragulator binding?

Q: Do disease-causing mutations in V-ATPase subunits affect the D-F central stalk interactions, and if so, does this impair ciliogenesis in addition to acidification?

Q: What is the mechanism by which SNX10-V-ATPase targeting to the centrosome promotes ciliogenesis? Is this dependent on V-ATPase proton-pumping activity or structural interactions?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Cryo-EM structure determination of the V-ATPase-Ragulator complex to define the D subunit contact interface with p18 and p14, and to identify amino acid-dependent conformational changes.

Hypothesis: The D subunit directly contacts Ragulator at the lysosomal surface and this interface can be structurally defined.

Type: structural biology

Experiment: Engineer separation-of-function mutations in ATP6V1D that disrupt the Ragulator interaction without affecting V-ATPase proton pumping activity, then test mTORC1 activation in response to amino acids.

Hypothesis: The D-Ragulator contact can be uncoupled from proton pumping by targeted mutations.

Type: mutagenesis and functional assay

Experiment: Time-lapse imaging of fluorescently tagged V-ATPase-SNX10 complex during ciliation initiation; test whether V-ATPase proton-pumping activity or only its structural association with SNX10 is required for ciliogenesis.

Hypothesis: V-ATPase targeting to the centrosome by SNX10 is required for ciliogenesis and occurs during a specific window of ciliation initiation.

Type: live cell imaging and genetic rescue
