Abstract
Vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (V-ATPase), complex molecular machines that use rotary motion produced by ATP hydrolysis to pump protons across membranes, are essential for what can be defined as cellular logistics. The flow of goods between compartments of the eukaryotic cell is achieved either by protein-mediated membrane transport or via vesicular trafficking. Over the past years, it has become increasingly clear that V-ATPases do not only energize secondary active transport across a wide variety of membranes but are also important regulators of vesicle trafficking and protein targeting. In this chapter, we thus pay particular attention to the dual function of the V-ATPase in transport and trafficking.
