Osteoclastic Bone Resorption by a Polarized Vacuolar Proton Pump

Blair, Harry C., Teitelbaum, Steven L., Ghiselli, Robert, Gluck, Stephen·1989·Science

Abstract

Bone resorption depends on the formation, by osteoclasts, of an acidic extracellular compartment wherein matrix is degraded. The mechanism by which osteoclasts transport protons into that resorptive microenvironment was identified by means of adenosine triphosphate-dependent weak base accumulation in isolated osteoclast membrane vesicles, which exhibited substrate and inhibition properties characteristic of the vacuolar, electrogenic H + -transporting adenosine triphosphatase (H + -ATPase). Identify of the proton pump was confirmed by immunoblot of osteoclast membrane proteins probed with antibody to vacuolar H + -ATPase isolated from bovine kidney. The osteoclast's H + -ATPase was immunocytochemically localized to the cell-bone attachment site. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that the H + -ATPase was present in the ruffled membrane, the resorptive organ of the cell.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
