abstract = {The voltage-gated proton channel 1 (HV 1) is an important
component of the cellular proton extrusion machinery and is
essential for charge compensation during the respiratory
burst of phagocytes. HV 1 has been identified in a wide
range of eukaryotes throughout the animal kingdom, with the
exception of insects. Therefore, it has been proposed that
insects do not possess an HV 1 channel. In the present
study, we report the existence of an HV 1-type proton
channel in insects. We searched insect transcriptome shotgun
assembly (TSA) sequence databases and found putative HV 1
orthologues in various polyneopteran insects. To confirm
that these putative HV 1 orthologues were functional
channels, we studied the HV 1 channel of Nicoletia
phytophila (NpHV 1), an insect of the Zygentoma order, in
more detail. NpHV 1 comprises 239 amino acids and is $33\%$
identical to the human voltage-gated proton channel 1. Patch
clamp measurements in a heterologous expression system
showed proton selectivity, as well as pH- and
voltage-dependent gating. Interestingly, NpHV 1 shows
slightly enhanced pH-dependent gating compared to the human
channel. Mutations in the first transmembrane segment at
position 66 (Asp66), the presumed selectivity filter, lead
to a loss of proton-selective conduction, confirming the
importance of this aspartate residue in voltage-gated proton
channels.Nucleotide sequence data have been deposited in the
GenBank database under accession number KT780722.},
