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
Inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) regulates certain intracellular functions and extracellular crystal deposition. PP(i) is produced, degraded, and transported by specialized mechanisms. Moreover, dysregulated cellular PP(i) production, degradation, and transport all have been associated with disease, and PP(i) appears to directly mediate specific disease manifestations. In addition, natural and synthetic analogs of PP(i) are in use or currently under evaluation as prophylactic agents or therapies for disease. This review summarizes recent developments in the understanding of how PP(i) is made and disposed of by cells and assesses the body of evidence for potentially significant physiological functions of intracellular PP(i) in higher organisms. Major topics addressed are recent lines of molecular evidence that directly link decreased and increased extracellular PP(i) levels with diseases in which connective tissue matrix calcification is disordered. To illustrate in depth the effects of disordered PP(i) metabolism, this review weighs the roles in matrix calcification of the transmembrane protein ANK, which regulates intracellular to extracellular movement of PP(i), and the PP(i)-generating phosphodiesterase nucleotide pyrophosphatase family isoenzyme plasma cell membrane glycoprotein-1 (PC-1).

Abstract
The H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) is a unique, electrogenic proton pump distributed among most land plants, but only some alga, protozoa, bacteria, and archaebacteria. This enzyme is a fine model for research on the coupling mechanism between the pyrophosphate hydrolysis and the active proton transport, since the enzyme consists of a single polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 71-80 kDa and its substrate is also simple. Cloning of the H(+)-PPase genes from several organisms has revealed the conserved regions that may be the catalytic site and/or participate in the enzymatic function. The primary sequences are reviewed with reference to biochemical properties of the enzyme, such as the requirement of Mg(2)(+) and K(+). In plant cells, H(+)-PPase coexists with H(+)-ATPase in a single vacuolar membrane. The physiological significance and the regulation of the gene expression of H(+)-PPase are also reviewed.

Abstract
The earliest known H+-PPase (proton-pumping inorganic pyrophosphatase), the integrally membrane-bound H+-PPi synthase (proton-pumping inorganic pyrophosphate synthase) from Rhodospirillum rubrum, is still the only alternative to H+-ATP synthase in biological electron transport phosphorylation. Cloning of several higher plant vacuolar H+-PPase genes has led to the recognition that the corresponding proteins form a family of extremely similar proton-pumping enzymes. The bacterial H+-PPi synthase and two algal vacuolar H+-PPases are homologous with this family, as deduced from their cloned genes. The prokaryotic and algal homologues differ more than the H+-PPases from higher plants, facilitating recognition of functionally significant entities. Primary structures of H+-PPases are reviewed and compared with H+-ATPases and soluble PPases.

Abstract
The vacuolar-type proton-translocating pyrophosphatase (V-H+-PPase) is an enzyme previously described in detail only in plants. This paper demonstrates its presence in the trypanosomatid Trypanosoma cruzi. Pyrophosphate promoted organellar acidification in permeabilized amastigotes, epimastigotes, and trypomastigotes of T. cruzi. This activity was stimulated by K+ ions and was inhibited by Na+ ions and pyrophosphate analogs, as is the plant activity. Separation of epimastigote extracts on Percoll gradients yielded a dense fraction that contained H+-PPase activity measured both by proton uptake and phosphate release but lacked markers for mitochondria, lysosomes, glycosomes, cytosol, and plasma membrane. Antiserum raised against specific sequences of the plant V-H+-PPase cross-reacted with a T. cruzi protein, which was also detectable in the dense Percoll fraction. The organelles in this fraction appeared by electron microscopy to consist mainly of acidocalcisomes (acidic calcium storage organelles). This identification was confirmed by x-ray microanalysis. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy indicated that the V-H+-PPase was located in the plasma membrane and acidocalcisomes of the three different forms of the parasite. Pyrophosphate was able to drive calcium uptake in permeabilized T. cruzi. This uptake depended upon a proton gradient and was reversed by a specific V-H+-PPase inhibitor. Our results imply that the phylogenetic distribution of V-H+-PPases is much wider than previously perceived but that the enzyme has a unique subcellular location in trypanosomes.

Abstract
The integrally membrane-bound, proton-pumping inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) synthase in phototrophic bacteria is hitherto the only described alternative to the ATP synthase in biological electron transport phosphorylation. We have identified and sequenced the first gene coding for a pyrophosphate synthase. The deduced protein contains 660 amino acid residues and 15 putative membrane-spanning segments. It is homologous to the vacuolar pyrophosphatases from plants.

Reversibility of H+-ATPase and H+-pyrophosphatase in tonoplast vesicles from maize coleoptiles and seeds. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 1998; 116:1487-95.

Abstract
Tonoplast-enriched vesicles isolated from maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles and seeds synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) and inorganic pyrophosphate from Pi. The synthesis is consistent with reversal of the catalytic cycle of the H+-ATPase and H+-pyrophosphatase (PPase) vacuolar membrane-bound enzymes. This was monitored by measuring the exchange reaction that leads to 32Pi incorporation into ATP or inorganic pyrophosphate. The reversal reactions of these enzymes were dependent on the proton gradient formed across the vesicle membrane and were susceptible to the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p(trifluoromethoxy)-phenylhydrazone and the detergent Triton X-100. Comparison of the two H+ pumps showed that the H+-ATPase was more active than H+-PPase in coleoptile tonoplast vesicles, whereas in seed vesicles H+-PPase activity was clearly dominant. These findings may reflect the physiological significance of these enzymes in different tissues at different stages of development and/or differentiation.

Abstract
Vacuolar proton-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase and H(+)-ATPase acidify the vacuoles and power the vacuolar secondary active transport systems in plants. Developmental changes in the transcription of the pyrophosphatase in growing hypocotyls of mung bean (Vigna radiata) were investigated. The cDNA clone for the mung bean enzyme contains an uninterrupted open reading frame of 2298 bp, coding for a polypeptide of 766 amino acids. Hypocotyls were divided into elongating and mature regions. RNA analysis revealed that the transcript level of the pyrophosphatase was high in the elongating region of the 3-d-old hypocotyl but was extremely low in the mature region of the 5-d-old hypocotyl. The level of transcript of the 68-kD subunit of H(+)-ATPase also decreased after cell maturation. In the elongating region, the proton-pumping activity of pyrophosphatase on the basis of membrane protein was 3 times higher than that of H(+)-ATPase. After cell maturation, the pyrophosphatase activity decreased to 30% of that in the elongating region. The decline in the pyrophosphatase activity was in parallel with a decrease in the enzyme protein content. These findings indicate that the level of the pyrophosphatase, a main vacuolar proton pump in growing cells, is negatively regulated after cell maturation at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Substrate hydrolysis by the H+-pyrophosphatase (pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase, H+-PPase) of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum follows a two-pathway reaction scheme in which preformed 1:1 and 1:2 . enzyme . Mg2+ complexes (EMg and EMg2) convert dimagnesium pyrophosphate (the substrate). This scheme is applicable to isolated enzyme, uncoupled chromatophores and chromatophores energized by a K+/valinomycin diffusion potential. Tris and other amine buffers exert a specific effect on the bacterial H+-PPase by increasing the Michaelis constant for substrate binding to EMg by a factor of 26-32, while having only small effect on substrate binding to EMg2. Formation of EMg requires a basic group with pKa of 7.2-7.7 and confers resistance against inactivation by mersalyl and N-ethylmaleimide to H+-PPase. The dissociation constants governing EMg and EMg2 formation, as estimated from the mersalyl-protection assays and steady-state kinetics of PPi hydrolysis, respectively, differ by an order of magnitude. Comparison with the data on soluble PPases suggests that, in spite of gross structural differences between H+-PPase and soluble PPases and the added ability of H+-PPase to act as a proton pump, the two classes of enzyme utilize the same reaction mechanism in PPi hydrolysis.

Abstract
This minireview in memory of Daniel I. Arnon, pioneer in photosynthesis research, concerns properties of the first and still only known alternative photophosphorylation system, with respect to the primary phosphorylated end product formed. The alternative to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), was produced in light, in chromatophores from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum, when no adenosine diphosphate (ADP) had been added to the reaction mixture (Baltscheffsky H et al. (1966) Science 153: 1120-1122). This production of PPi and its capability to drive energy requiring reactions depend on the activity of a membrane bound inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) (Baltscheffsky M et al. (1966) Brookhaven Symposia in Biology, No. 19, pp 246-253); (Baltscheffsky M (1967) Nature 216: 241-243), which pumps protons (Moyle J et al. (1972) FEBS Lett 23: 233-236). Both enzyme and substrate in the PPase (PPi synthase) are much less complex than in the case of the corresponding adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase, ATP synthase). Whereas an artificially induced proton gradient alone can drive the synthesis of PPi, both a proton gradient and a membrane potential are required for obtaining ATP. The photobacterial, integrally membrane bound PPi synthase shows immunological cross reaction with membrane bound PPases from plant vacuoles (Nore BF et al. (1991) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 181: 962-967). With antibodies against the purified PPi synthase clones of its gene have been obtained and are currently being sequenced. Further structural information about the PPi synthase may serve to elucidate also fundamental mechanisms of electron transport coupled phosphorylation. The existence of the PPi synthase is in line with the assumption that PPi may have preceded ATP as energy carrier between energy yielding and energy requiring reactions.

Abstract
The catalytic subunit of a membrane-bound pyrophosphatase was purified by electroendosmotic preparative electrophoresis from etiolated pea stem mitochondria. The enzyme was identified as a single peak relatively pure, because only a very limited number of polypeptides were detectable by SDS/PAGE of the active fractions. The pyrophosphatase was associated to a band with a molecular mass of 35 kDa, showing a specific activity of 0.7 mumol Pi . mg-1 protein . min-1 (37 degrees C, pH 8.0) and an apparent Km value of 200 microM. The hydrolytic activity required Mg2+, was inhibited by imidodiphosphate (HNO6P2Na4), Ca2+, F- and was stimulated by phospholipids. Cardiolipin, phophatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine had the maximal activating effect. The isolated protein is very similar to the catalytic subunit of pyrophosphatases isolated from rat liver (beta-subunit) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria.

Abstract
1,1-Diphosphonate analogs of pyrophosphate, containing an amino or a hydroxyl group on the bridge carbon atom, are potent inhibitors of the H(+)-translocating pyrophosphatases of chromatophores prepared from the bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum and vacuolar membrane vesicles prepared from the plant Vigna radiata. The inhibition constant for aminomethylenediphosphonate, which binds competitively with respect to substrate, is below 2 microM. Rat liver mitochondrial pyrophosphatase is two orders of magnitude less sensitive to this compound but extremely sensitive to imidodiphosphate. By contrast, fluoride is highly effective only against the mitochondrial pyrophosphatase. It is concluded that the mitochondrial pyrophosphatase and the H(+)-pyrophosphatases of chromatophores and vacuolar membranes belong to two different classes of enzyme.
