Vacuolar H + -translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase [vacuolar H + -pyro-phosphatase (V-PPase); EC ] is a homodimeric proton translocase; it plays a pivotal role in electrogenic translocation of protons from the cyto-sol to the vacuolar lumen, at the expense of PPi hydrolysis, for the storage of ions, sugars, and other metabolites. | The proximity between C-termini of dimeric vacuolar H -pyrophosphatase determined using atomic force microscopy and a gold nanoparticle technique Tseng-Huang Liu1 Shen-Hsing Hsu1 Yun-Tzu Huang1 Shih-Ming Lin1 Tsu-Wei Huang2 Tzu-Han Chuang3 Shih-Kang Fan4 Chien-Chung Fu3 Fan-Gang Tseng and Rong-Long Pan1 1 Department of Life Sciences and Institute of Bioinformatics and StructuralBiology College of Life Sciences NationalTsing Hua University Hsin Chu Taiwan ROC 2 Department of Engineering and System Science NationalTsing Hua University Hsin Chu Taiwan ROC 3 Institute of NanoEngineering and MicroSystems NationalTsing Hua University Hsin Chu Taiwan ROC 4 Institute of Nanotechnology NationalChiao Tung University Hsin Chu Taiwan ROC Keywords atomic force microscopy proton translocation tonoplast vacuolar H -pyrophosphatase vacuole Correspondence .

Dimerization of V-PPase is necessary for full proton translocation function although the structural details of V-PPase within the vacuolar membrane remain uncertain. The C-termi-nus presumably plays a crucial role in sustaining enzymatic and protontranslocating reactions. We used atomic force microscopy to visualize V-PPases embedded in an artificial lipid bilayer under physiological conditions. V-PPases were randomly distributed
