Symbol: VMA2 Name: Vacuolar Membrane Atpase 2 Alias: VAT2 Entrez gene ID: 852424 Ensembl gene ID: YBR127C Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Vma2p; Subunit B of the eight-subunit V1 peripheral membrane domain of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), an electrogenic proton pump found throughout the endomembrane system; contains nucleotide binding sites; also detected in the cytoplasm [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000331] [Ensembl] Observation: VMA2 deletion mutants have a reduced ΔΨ and mitochondrial morphology similar to aged cells. The restoration of the vacuolar acidity in daughter cells requires V-ATPase activity as it is eliminated in VMA2 deletion mutant cells [23172144]. VMA2 deletion mutation decreases the mean replicative lifespan by 80% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Deletion of VMA2 decreases mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 84%, 84% and 70%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not extend the replicative lifespan of VMA2 and shortens it even more [23172144]. Interventions: Assays: Replicative Lifespan Mean: -80 to -83.9 Median: -84.1 Maximum: -70.0 Classification: References: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
