Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are large multisubunit complexes that actively transport protons across cellular membranes to acidify intracellular compartments, thereby serving a critical housekeeping function. In addition, VATPases are also expressed on the plasma membrane of cell types such as kidney epithelia and osteoclasts, which require high levels of proton secretion to perform their specialized activities. This multiplicity of function is achieved by the expression of numerous V-ATPase subunit isoforms that are mixed and matched to produce complexes required for each cellular activity. Multiple regulatory mechanisms are necessary to allow coordinated expression of V-ATPase subunit proteins involved in both housekeeping and specialized functions. This review will summarize studies during the last two decades that have revealed transcriptional and post-transcriptional controls that govern expression of V-ATPase subunits. These studies are beginning to elucidate overarching mechanisms that permit coordinated expression of ubiquitous subunits while directing tissue-specific expression of others.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
