Abstract
Vacuolar-type adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase, VHA) is a highly conserved, ATP-driven multisubunit proton pump that is widely distributed in all eukaryotic cells. V-ATPase consists of two domains formed by at least 13 different subunits, the membrane peripheral V1 domain responsible for ATP hydrolysis, and the membrane-integral V0 domain responsible for proton translocation. V-ATPase plays an essential role in energizing secondary active transport and is indispensable to plants. In addition to multiple stress responses, plant V-ATPase is also implicated in physiological processes such as growth, development, and morphogenesis. Based on the identification of distinct V-ATPase mutants and advances in luminal pH measurements in vivo, it has been revealed that this holoenzyme complex plays a pivotal role in pH homeostasis of the plant endomembrane system and endocytic and secretory trafficking. Here, we review recent progress in comprehending the biochemical properties and physiological functions of plant V-ATPase and explore the topics that require further elucidation.

Abstract
PI3K and its product PI3P are both involved in plant development and stress responses. In this study, the down-regulation of PI3K activity accelerated leaf senescence induced by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and suppressed the activation of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase). Yeast two-hybrid analyses indicated that PI3K bound to the V-ATPase B subunit (VHA-B). Analysis of bimolecular fluorescence complementation in tobacco guard cells showed that PI3K interacted with VHA-B2 in the tonoplasts. Through the use of pharmacological and genetic tools, we found that PI3K and V-ATPase promoted vacuolar acidification and stomatal closure during leaf senescence. Vacuolar acidification was suppressed by the PIKfyve inhibitor in 35S:AtVPS34-YFP Arabidopsis during MeJA-induced leaf senescence, but the decrease was lower than that in YFP-labeled Arabidopsis. These results suggest that PI3K promotes V-ATPase activation and consequently induces vacuolar acidification and stomatal closure, thereby delaying MeJA-induced leaf senescence.

Abstract
The plant vacuole is of prime importance in buffering environmental perturbations and in coping with abiotic stress caused by, for example, drought, salinity, cold, or UV. The large volume, the efficient integration in anterograde and retrograde vesicular trafficking, and the dynamic equipment with tonoplast transporters enable the vacuole to fulfill indispensible functions in cell biology, for example, transient and permanent storage, detoxification, recycling, pH and redox homeostasis, cell expansion, biotic defence, and cell death. This review first focuses on endomembrane dynamics and then summarizes the functions, assembly, and regulation of secretory and vacuolar proton pumps: (i) the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) which represents a multimeric complex of approximately 800 kDa, (ii) the vacuolar H(+)-pyrophosphatase, and (iii) the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. These primary proton pumps regulate the cytosolic pH and provide the driving force for secondary active transport. Carriers and ion channels modulate the proton motif force and catalyze uptake and vacuolar compartmentation of solutes and deposition of xenobiotics or secondary compounds such as flavonoids. ABC-type transporters directly energized by MgATP complement the transport portfolio that realizes the multiple functions in stress tolerance of plants.

Abstract
The plant vacuolar H(+)-ATPase takes part in acidifying compartments of the endomembrane system including the secretory pathway and the vacuoles. The structural variability of the V-ATPase complex as well as its presence in different compartments and tissues involves multiple isoforms of V-ATPase subunits. Furthermore, a versatile regulation is essential to allow for organelle- and tissue-specific fine tuning. In this study, results from V-ATPase complex disassembly with a chaotropic reagent, immunodetection and in vivo fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analyses point to a regulatory mechanism in plants, which depends on energization and involves the stability of the peripheral stalks as well. Lowering of cellular ATP by feeding 2-deoxyglucose resulted in structural alterations within the V-ATPase, as monitored by changes in FRET efficiency between subunits VHA-E and VHA-C. Potassium iodide-mediated disassembly revealed a reduced stability of V-ATPase after 2-deoxyglucose treatment of the cells, but neither the complete V(1)-sector nor VHA-C was released from the membrane in response to 2-deoxyglucose treatment, precluding a reversible dissociation mechanism like in yeast. These data suggest the existence of a regulatory mechanism of plant V-ATPase by modification of the peripheral stator structure that is linked to the cellular energization state. This mechanism is distinct from reversible dissociation as reported for the yeast V-ATPase, but might represent an evolutionary precursor of reversible dissociation.

Abstract
We have previously shown that vacuolar H+-ATPase subcomplex V(o) from mung bean contains subunit d, however, its sequence and function were unknown. In the present study, we report the cloning and recombinant over expression of subunit d from mung bean in E. coli. To study the function of subunit d, two vacuolar H+-ATPase subcomplexes V(o) from mung bean were purified-one containing subunits a and c(c',c") and the other containing subunits a, c(c',c") and d. After reconstitution of the purified V(o) subcomplexes into liposomes, the proton translocation was studied. Our results show that the V(o) subcomplex in the absence of subunit d is a passive proton channel, while the V(o) subcomplex in the presence of the subunit d is not. Taken together, our data supports the conclusion that the subunit d of the plant vacuolar H(+)-ATPase from mung bean is positioned at the central stalk and involved in the proton translocation across the tonoplast membrane.

Abstract
The subunit architecture of the yeast vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) was analyzed by single particle transmission electron microscopy and electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry. A three-dimensional model of the intact V-ATPase was calculated from two-dimensional projections of the complex at a resolution of 25 angstroms. Images of yeast V-ATPase decorated with monoclonal antibodies against subunits A, E, and G position subunit A within the pseudo-hexagonal arrangement in the V1, the N terminus of subunit G in the V1-V0 interface, and the C terminus of subunit E at the top of the V1 domain. ESI tandem mass spectrometry of yeast V1-ATPase showed that subunits E and G are most easily lost in collision-induced dissociation, consistent with a peripheral location of the subunits. An atomic model of the yeast V-ATPase was generated by fitting of the available x-ray crystal structures into the electron microscopy-derived electron density map. The resulting atomic model of the yeast vacuolar ATPase serves as a framework to help understand the role the peripheral stalk subunits are playing in the regulation of the ATP hydrolysis driven proton pumping activity of the vacuolar ATPase.

Abstract
Bioenergetics and physiology of primary pumps have been revitalized by new insights into the mechanism of energizing biomembranes. Structural information is becoming available, and the three-dimensional structure of F-ATPase is being resolved. The growing understanding of the fundamental mechanism of energy coupling may revolutionize our view of biological processes. The F- and V-ATPases (vacuolar-type ATPase) exhibit a common mechanical design in which nucleotide-binding on the catalytic sector, through a cycle of conformation changes, drives the transmembrane passage of protons by turning a membrane-embedded rotor. This motor can run in forward or reverse directions, hydrolyzing ATP as it pumps protons uphill or creating ATP as protons flow downhill. In contrast to F-ATPases, whose primary function in eukaryotic cells is to form ATP at the expense of the proton-motive force (pmf), V-ATPases function exclusively as an ATP-dependent proton pump. The pmf generated by V-ATPases in organelles and membranes of eukaryotic cells is utilized as a driving force for numerous secondary transport processes. V- and F-ATPases have similar structure and mechanism of action, and several of their subunits evolved from common ancestors. Electron microscopy studies of V-ATPase revealed its general structure at low resolution. Recently, several structures of V-ATPase subunits, solved by X-ray crystallography with atomic resolution, were published. This, together with electron microscopy low-resolution maps of the whole complex, and biochemistry cross-linking experiments, allows construction of a structural model for a part of the complex that may be used as a working hypothesis for future research.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V1V0 -ATPases) function in proton translocation across lipid membranes of subcellular compartments. We have used antibody labeling and electron microscopy to define the position of subunit C in the vacuolar ATPase from yeast. The data show that subunit C is binding at the interface of the ATPase and proton channel, opposite from another stalk density previously identified as subunit H [Wilkens S., Inoue T., and Forgac M. (2004) Three-dimensional structure of the vacuolar ATPase - Localization of subunit H by difference imaging and chemical cross-linking. J. Biol. Chem. 279, 41942-41949]. A picture of the vacuolar ATPase stalk domain is emerging in which subunits C and H are positioned to play a role in reversible enzyme dissociation and activity silencing.

Abstract
The plant V-ATPase is a protein complex of 13 different VHA-subunits and functions as ATP driven motor that electrogenically translocates H+ into endomembrane compartments. The central rotor extends into the hexameric head that is fixed by peripheral stators to an eccentric membrane domain. The localization and orientation of VHA-subunits of the head and peripheral stalk region were investigated by in vivo fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). To this end, VHA-E, VHA-G, VHA-H of the peripheral stalks as well as subunits VHA-A and VHA-B were C-terminally fused to cyan (CFP) and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). Protoplasts transfected with FRET-pairs of CFP-donor and YFP-acceptor fluorophores fused to VHA-subunits were analysed for FRET by laser scanning microscopy. The result of the C-termini mapping allows to refine the arrangement and interaction of the subunits within the V-ATPase complex in vivo. Furthermore, expression of fused VHA-E and VHA-H stimulated acidification of protoplast vacuoles, while other constructs had no major effect on vacuolar pH tentatively indicating a regulatory role of these subunits in plants.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases) are large, membrane bound, multisubunit protein complexes which function as ATP hydrolysis driven proton pumps. V-ATPases and related enzymes are found in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic organsims, the plasma membrane of specialized cells in higher eukaryotes, and the plasma membrane of prokaryotes. The proton pumping action of the vacuolar ATPase is involved in a variety of vital intra- and inter-cellular processes such as receptor mediated endocytosis, protein trafficking, active transport of metabolites, homeostasis and neurotransmitter release. This review summarizes recent progress in the structure determination of the vacuolar ATPase focusing on studies by transmission electron microscopy. A model of the subunit architecture of the vacuolar ATPase is presented which is based on the electron microscopic images and the available information from genetic, biochemical and biophysical experiments.

Abstract
The F-, V-, and A-adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) represent a family of evolutionarily related ion pumps found in every living cell. They either function to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at the expense of an ion gradient or they act as primary ion pumps establishing transmembrane ion motive force at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. The A-, F-, and V-ATPases are rotary motor enzymes. Synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP taking place in the three catalytic sites of the membrane extrinsic domain is coupled to ion translocation across the single ion channel in the membrane-bound domain via rotation of a central part of the complex with respect to a static portion of the enzyme. This chapter reviews recent progress in the structure determination of several members of the family of F-, A-, and V-ATPases and our current understanding of the rotary mechanism of energy coupling.
