الوصف: Vacuolar-type ATPase (v-ATPase) is a multimeric protein complex that regulates H+ transport across membranes and intra-cellular organelle acidification. Catabolic processes, such as endocytic degradation and autophagy, strictly rely on v-ATPase-dependent luminal acidification in lysosomes. The v-ATPase complex is expressed at high levels in the brain and its impairment triggers neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Due to their post-mitotic nature and highly specialized function and morphology, neurons display a unique vulnerability to lysosomal dyshomeostasis. Alterations in genes encoding subunits composing v-ATPase or v-ATPase-related proteins impair brain development and synaptic function in animal models and underlie genetic diseases in humans, such as encephalopathies, epilepsy, as well as neurodevelopmental, and degenerative disorders. This review presents the genetic and functional evidence linking v-ATPase subunits and accessory proteins to various brain disorders, from early-onset developmental epileptic encephalopathy to neurodegenerative diseases. We highlight the latest emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating lysosomal defects associated with v-ATPase dysfunction.
