Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring C015 / 5378
Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring, molecular model. V-ATPases (vacuolar-type ATPase) are evolutionarily ancient enzymes that helps transport ions across cell membranes, usually protons and in this case sodium ions. The underlying reaction providing the energy is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is catalysed by this enzyme. This example of a V-ATPase is from the Enterococcus hirae bacterium. This rotor ring is part of the structure through which the ions pass as they cross the cell membrane. The ring contains 10 subunits (protein chains), indicated by the colours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Sodium V-ATPase rotor ring C015/5378. V-ATPases, which are ancient enzymes found in various organisms, play a crucial role in transporting ions across cell membranes. In this particular case, they facilitate the movement of sodium ions and protons. The energy required for this process is derived from the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a reaction catalyzed by this enzyme. Taken from the Enterococcus hirae bacterium, this specific rotor ring forms an essential part of the structure through which ions traverse while crossing the cell membrane. Comprised of ten subunits or protein chains, each indicated by distinct colors on a white background, it exemplifies both its structural and biochemical significance. The molecular intricacies depicted in this artwork provide valuable insights into cellular biology and protein function. It highlights key elements such as ion channels, transmembrane properties, and macromolecular structures that contribute to our understanding of biological processes at a microscopic level. With its meticulous cut-out design and attention to detail, this image serves as an invaluable resource for researchers exploring proteomics, biomolecules, molecular biology, and biochemistry alike. By capturing the essence of Sodium V-ATPase's decameric symmetry within Enterococcus hirae bacteria cells' context – without any commercial connotations – Laguna Design/Science Photo Library has produced yet another remarkable piece that merges artistry with scientific exploration.
