The Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar H⁺-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit complex composed of a peripheral membrane sector (V₁) responsible for ATP hydrolysis and an integral membrane sector (V₀) required for proton translocation. Biogenesis of V₀ requires an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized accessory factor, Vma21p. We found that in vma21 cells, the major proteolipid subunit of V₀ failed to interact with the 100-kDa V₀ subunit, Vph1p, indicating that Vma21p is necessary for V₀ assembly. Immunoprecipitation of Vma21p from wild-type membranes resulted in coimmunoprecipitation of all five V₀ subunits. Analysis of vma strains showed that binding of V₀ subunits to Vma21p was mediated by the proteolipid subunit Vma11p. Although Vma21p/proteolipid interactions were independent of Vph1p, Vma21p/Vph1p association was dependent on all other V₀ subunits, indicating that assembly of V₀ occurs in a defined sequence, with Vph1p recruitment into a Vma21p/proteolipid/Vma6p complex representing the final step. An in vitro assay for ER export was used to demonstrate preferential packaging of the fully assembled Vma21p/proteolipid/Vma6p/Vph1p complex into COPII-coated transport vesicles. Pulse-chase experiments showed that the interaction between Vma21p and V₀ was transient and that Vma21p/V₀ dissociation was concomitant with V₀/V₁ assembly. Blocking ER export in vivo stabilized the interaction between Vma21p and V₀ and abrogated assembly of V₀/V₁. Although a Vma21p mutant lacking an ER-retrieval signal remained associated with V₀ in the vacuole, this interaction did not affect the assembly of vacuolar V₀/V₁ complexes. We conclude that Vma21p is not involved in regulating the interaction between V₀ and V₁ sectors, but that it has a crucial role in coordinating the assembly of V₀ subunits and in escorting the assembled V₀ complex into ER-derived transport vesicles.
