P5A- and P5B- ATPases, or collectively P5-ATPases, are eukaryotic-specific ATP-dependent transporters that are important for the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and endo-/lysosomes. However, their substrate specificities had remained enigmatic for many years. Recent cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and biochemical studies of P5-ATPases have revealed their substrate specificities and transport mechanisms, which were found to be markedly different from other members of the P-type ATPase superfamily. The P5A-ATPase extracts mistargeted or mis-inserted transmembrane helices from the ER membrane for protein quality control, while the P5B-ATPases mediate export of polyamines from late endo-/lysosomes into the cytosol. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of their substrate recognition and transport based on the cryo-EM structures of the yeast and human P5-ATPases. We highlight how structural diversification of the transmembrane domain has enabled the P5-ATPase subfamily to adapt for transport of atypical substrates.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D004721	Endoplasmic Reticulum	A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).

D000072417	Protein Domains	Discrete protein structural units that may fold independently of the rest of the protein and have their own functions.	Peptide Domain,Protein Domain,Domain, Peptide,Domain, Protein,Domains, Peptide,Domains, Protein,Peptide Domains
D000251	Adenosine Triphosphatases	A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
