Abstract
V-ATPase is the dominant proton pump in plant cells. It contributes to cytosolic pH homeostasis and energizes transport processes across endomembranes of the secretory pathway. Its localization in the trans Golgi network/early endosomes is essential for vesicle transport, for instance for the delivery of cell wall components. Furthermore, it is crucial for response to abiotic and biotic stresses. The V-ATPase's rather complex structure and multiple subunit isoforms enable high structural flexibility with respect to requirements for different organs, developmental stages, and organelles. This complexity further demands a sophisticated assembly machinery and transport routes in cells, a process that is still not fully understood. Regulation of V-ATPase is a target of phosphorylation and redox-modifications but also involves interactions with regulatory proteins like 14-3-3 proteins and the lipid environment. Regulation by reversible assembly, as reported for yeast and the mammalian enzyme, has not be proven in plants but seems to be absent in autotrophic cells. Addressing the regulation of V-ATPase is a promising approach to adjust its activity for improved stress resistance or higher crop yield.

Abstract
Proton pumps create a proton motif force and thus, energize secondary active transport at the plasma nmembrane and endomembranes of the secretory pathway. In the plant cell, the dominant proton pumps are the plasma membrane ATPase, the vacuolar pyrophosphatase (V-PPase), and the vacuolar-type ATPase (V-ATPase). All these pumps act on the cytosolic pH by pumping protons into the lumen of compartments or into the apoplast. To maintain the typical pH and thus, the functionality of the cytosol, the activity of the pumps needs to be coordinated and adjusted to the actual needs. The cellular toolbox for a coordinated regulation comprises 14-3-3 proteins, phosphorylation events, ion concentrations, and redox-conditions. This review combines the knowledge on regulation of the different proton pumps and highlights possible coordination mechanisms.

Abstract
We have examined the changes due to Cd treatment in the vacuolar form in root tip cortical cells in Arabidopsis thaliana employing a transformant with GFP fused to a tonoplast protein. A Cd-induced enhancement in complexity with general expansion of vacuolar system within 24 h was evident. The changes in the vacuolar form were dependent on the applied Cd concentrations. Concomitantly, as revealed through dithizone staining, Cd accumulated in the seedling roots exhibiting abundance of Cd-dithizone complexes in root tip, root hairs and vasculature. To get insight into the involvement of SNARE protein-mediated vesicle fusion in Cd detoxification, the magnitude of Cd toxicity in a couple of knock out mutants of the vacuolar Qa-SNARE protein VAM3/SYP22 was compared with that in the wild type. The Cd toxicity appeared to be comparable in the mutants and the wild type. In order to analyze the Cd effects at cellular level, we treated the Arabidopsis suspension-cultured cells with Cd. Cd, however, did not induce a change in the vacuolar form in suspension-cultured cells although Cd measured with ICP-MS was obviously taken up into the cell. The V-ATPase activity in the microsomal fractions from vacuoles isolated from A. thaliana suspension cultured cells remained unaffected by Cd. Changes in the levels of certain metabolites of Cd-treated cells were also not so distinct except for those of glutathione. The significance of findings is discussed.

Abstract
Plant cells orchestrate an array of molecular mechanisms for maintaining plasmatic concentrations of essential heavy metal (HM) ions, for example, iron, zinc and copper, within the optimal functional range. In parallel, concentrations of non-essential HMs and metalloids, for example, cadmium, mercury and arsenic, should be kept below their toxicity threshold levels. Vacuolar compartmentalization is central to HM homeostasis. It depends on two vacuolar pumps (V-ATPase and V-PPase) and a set of tonoplast transporters, which are directly driven by proton motive force, and primary ATP-dependent pumps. While HM non-hyperaccumulator plants largely sequester toxic HMs in root vacuoles, HM hyperaccumulators usually sequester them in leaf cell vacuoles following efficient long-distance translocation. The distinct strategies evolved as a consequence of organ-specific differences particularly in vacuolar transporters and in addition to distinct features in long-distance transport. Recent molecular and functional characterization of tonoplast HM transporters has advanced our understanding of their contribution to HM homeostasis, tolerance and hyperaccumulation. Another important part of the dynamic vacuolar sequestration syndrome involves enhanced vacuolation. It involves vesicular trafficking in HM detoxification. The present review provides an updated account of molecular aspects that contribute to the vacuolar compartmentalization of HMs.

Abstract
The effect of Cd and Cu on the tonoplast proton pumps, V-ATPase (EC 3.6.3.14) and V-PPase (EC 3.6.1.1) was investigated in cucumber roots subjected to 10 µM metals for 3 and 6 days. Both hydrolytic and transporting activities of V-ATPase as well as V-PPase increased under copper stress. In contrast, all activities examined were inhibited after the exposure of plants to cadmium. Cd and Cu changed the efficiency of coupling between proton transport and ATP hydrolysis whereas H(+) /PP(i) stoichiometry was not modified. Pre-incubation of control tonoplast vesicles with copper caused the stimulation of V-ATPase as well as V-PPase, indicating direct activation by Cu ions. Pre-treatment with cadmium had no significant effect on the activities of both enzymes. The gene expression and western blot analyses showed that observed modifications in enzyme activities were not related to the changes in the transcript levels of genes encoding V-ATPase subunit A and c, and V-PPase or in amounts of enzyme proteins. Moreover, the addition of reduced or oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG) to the reaction medium containing tonoplast vesicles isolated from stressed roots did not change the activity level of either enzyme when compared with the controls, suggesting that heavy metal-induced modifications are not simple reversible redox modulations.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is involved in abscisic acid (ABA)- and methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we examined the effects of GSH-decreasing chemicals, p-nitrobenzyl chloride (PNBC), iodomethane (IDM), and ethacrynic acid (EA), on ABA- and MeJA-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis. Treatments with PNBC, IDM, and EA decreased GSH contents in guard cells. Depletion of GSH by PNBC and IDM enhanced ABA- and MeJA-induced stomatal closure and inhibition of light-induced stomatal opening by ABA, whereas EA did not enhance either ABA- and MeJA-induced stomatal closure or inhibition of light-induced stomatal opening by ABA. Depletion of GSH did not significantly increase the production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytosolic alkalization, or cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillation induced by ABA and MeJA. These results indicate that depletion of GSH enhances ABA- and MeJA-induced stomatal closure without affecting ROS production, cytosolic alkalization, or cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillation in guard cells of Arabidopsis.

Abstract
ATP-hydrolysis and proton pumping by the V-ATPase (vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase) are subject to redox regulation in mammals, yeast and plants. Oxidative inhibition of the V-ATPase is ascribed to disulfide-bond formation between conserved cysteine residues at the catalytic site of subunit A. Subunits containing amino acid substitutions of one of three conserved cysteine residues of VHA-A were expressed in a vha-A null mutant background in Arabidopsis. In vitro activity measurements revealed a complete absence of oxidative inhibition in the transgenic line expressing VHA-A C256S, confirming that Cys256 is necessary for redox regulation. In contrast, oxidative inhibition was unaffected in plants expressing VHA-A C279S and VHA-A C535S, indicating that disulfide bridges involving these cysteine residues are not essential for oxidative inhibition. In vivo data suggest that oxidative inhibition might not represent a general regulatory mechanism in 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
The presence of isogenes encoding V-ATPase subunits seems to be a characteristic for plants. Twenty-eight genes encode for the 13 different subunits in Arabidopsis thaliana, 23 genes each are known in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and can be identified in rice (Oryza sativa), respectively. In Arabidopsis the four subunits VHA-B, -E, -G and -a are encoded by three isogenes each. The transcript levels of these subunits were analysed by in silico evaluation of transcript pattern derived from the NASC-array database and exemplarily confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. A tissue specifity was observed for the isoforms of VHA-E and VHA-G, whereas expression of VHA-a isoforms appeared independent of the tissue. Inflicting environmental stresses upon plants resulted in differentiated expression patterns of VHA-isoforms. Whereas salinity had minor effect on the expression of V-ATPase genes in A. thaliana, heat and drought stress led to alterations in transcript amount and preference of isoforms. Correlation analysis identified two clusters of isoforms, which were co-regulated on the transcript level.

Abstract
Although the reversible dissociation of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme into its V(1) and V(O) complexes is a general mechanism for the regulation of V-ATPases, important aspects are still not understood. By analyzing the endogenous nucleotide content of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme and of the V(1) complex, both purified from Manduca sexta larval midgut, we found that the V(1) complex contained 1.7 molec. of ADP, whereas only 0.3 molec. of ADP were bound to the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme. By contrast, both proteins contained only negligible amounts of ATP. Incubation of the V(1)V(O) holoenzyme with various adenine nucleotides revealed that ATP hydrolysis, leading to a state containing tightly bound ADP is necessary for its dissociation.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake across the vacuolar membrane of intact vacuoles isolated from Catharanthus roseus suspension-cultured cells was measured. Under low Pi status, Pi uptake into the vacuole was strongly activated compared to high Pi status. Since Pi uptake across the vacuolar membrane is correlated with H+ pumping, we examined the dependency of H+ pumping on plant Pi status. Both H+ pumping and the activities of the vacuolar H+-pumps, the V-type H+-ATPase and the H+-PPase were enhanced under low Pi status. Despite this increase in H+ pumping, Western blot analysis showed no distinct increase in the amount of proton pump proteins. Possible mechanisms for the activation of Pi uptake into the vacuole under low Pi status are discussed.

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
The ability of subunit C of eukaryotic V-ATPases to bind ADP and ATP is demonstrated by photoaffinity labeling and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Quantitation of the photoaffinity and the FCS data indicate that the ATP-analogues bind more weakly to subunit C than the ADP-analogues. Site-directed mutagenesis and N-terminal sequencing of subunit C from Arabidopsis (VHA-C) and yeast (Vma5p) have been used to map the C-terminal region of subunit C as the nucleotide-binding site. Tryptophan fluorescence quenching and decreased susceptibility to tryptic digestion of subunit C after binding of different nucleotides provides evidence for structural changes in this subunit caused by nucleotide-binding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vacuolar H+-ATPases are large protein complexes of more than 700 kDa that acidify endomembrane compartments and are part of the secretory system of eukaryotic cells. They are built from 14 different (VHA)-subunits. The paper addresses the question of sub-cellular localisation and subunit composition of plant V-ATPase in vivo and in vitro mainly by using colocalization and fluorescence resonance energy transfer techniques (FRET). Focus is placed on the examination and function of the 95 kDa membrane spanning subunit VHA-a. Showing similarities to the already described Vph1 and Stv1 vacuolar ATPase subunits from yeast, VHA-a revealed a bipartite structure with (i) a less conserved cytoplasmically orientated N-terminus and (ii) a membrane-spanning C-terminus with a higher extent of conservation including all amino acids shown to be essential for proton translocation in the yeast. On the basis of sequence data VHA-a appears to be an essential structural and functional element of V-ATPase, although previously a sole function in assembly has been proposed. RESULTS To elucidate the presence and function of VHA-a in the plant complex, three approaches were undertaken: (i) co-immunoprecipitation with antibodies directed to epitopes in the N- and C-terminal part of VHA-a, respectively, (ii) immunocytochemistry approach including co-localisation studies with known plant endomembrane markers, and (iii) in vivo-FRET between subunits fused to variants of green fluorescence protein (CFP, YFP) in transfected cells. CONCLUSIONS All three sets of results show that V-ATPase contains VHA-a protein that interacts in a specific manner with other subunits. The genomes of plants encode three genes of the 95 kDa subunit (VHA-a) of the vacuolar type H+-ATPase. Immuno-localisation of VHA-a shows that the recognized subunit is exclusively located on the endoplasmic reticulum. This result is in agreement with the hypothesis that the different isoforms of VHA-a may localize on distinct endomembrane compartments, as it was shown for its yeast counterpart Vph1.

A large number of proteins in the tonoplast, including pumps, carriers, ion channels and receptors support the various functions of the plant vacuole. To date, few proteins involved in these activities have been identified at the molecular level. In this study, proteomic analysis was used to identify new tonoplast proteins. A primary requirement of any organelle analysis by proteomics is that the purity of the isolated organelle needs to be high. Using suspension-cultured Arabidopsis cells (Arabidopsis Col-0 cell suspension), a method was developed for the isolation of intact highly purified vacuoles. No plasma membrane proteins were detected in Western blots of the isolated vacuole fraction, and only a few proteins from the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum. The proteomic analysis of the purified tonoplast involved fractionation of the proteins by SDS-PAGE and analysis by LC-MS/MS. Using this approach, it was possible to identify 163 proteins. These included well-characterized tonoplast proteins such as V-type H+ -ATPases and V-type H+ -PPases, and others with functions reasonably expected to be related to the tonoplast. There were also a number of proteins for which a function has not yet been deduced.

Abstract
The activity of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase has been characterized in isolated vacuoles of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by means of the patch-clamp technique. With cytosolic calcium at virtually zero (<10(-9) M), Mg-ATP induced a transient, bafilomycin A(1)-sensitive current corresponding to the flow of positive charges from the cytoplasmic surface to the vacuolar lumen. The Mg-ATP-dependent current reached its maximum amplitude (30+/-8 mA m(-2) with 5 mM Mg-ATP, n=34) within 15-20 s and declined slowly over a period of about 15-20 min even in the continuous presence of Mg-ATP. This decline of pumping activity was independent of the cytosolic KCl concentration, suggesting an inhibitory mechanism different from the high salt-induced dissociation of V(0) and V(1) reported for the V-ATPase of plants and fungi. Cytosolic ADP was found to modulate the pump activity since Mg-ATP-induced pump current was smaller if monitored in the presence of 5 mM ADP and addition of 5 mM ADP in the presence of 5 mM Mg-ATP reduced the pump current by more than 50%. Furthermore, reduction of the cytosolic ADP concentration by the ATP-regenerating system creatine phosphate/creatine kinase partially relieved the endogenous inhibition of the V-ATPase, confirming that interaction of cytosolic ADP with the V-ATPase is the reason for the transient nature of the pump current in yeast vacuoles.

Abstract
Redox chemistry is a key feature of life. Oxidized substrates are reduced to synthesize functional molecules; reduced substrates are oxidized for energy supply. In addition, cells must fight against uncontrolled oxidation of essential constituents, a process that continuously occurs in an atmosphere of 21% O2. The redox situation is further complicated in plants with their highly reactive photosynthetic metabolism. To this end it is now well established that redox regulation is a central element in adjusting plant metabolism and development to the prevailing environmental conditions. This review introduces general redox chemistry and the main components of the cellular redox network, namely pyridine nucleotides, ascorbate, glutathione, lipoic acid, tocopherol, thioredoxins, glutaredoxins, peroxiredoxins, and other thiol proteins. Examples for redox sensing, transduction, redox-regulated enzymes and transcription, and the function of regulatory circuits are presented. Emphasis is placed on redox regulation of photosynthesis, which is the best understood metabolism governed by redox control on essentially all levels, ranging from gene transcription to translation, assembly and turnover, as well as short-term adaptation by state transition and enzyme activity. Increasing evidence shows the importance of redox regulation in the context of transport, plant development, and programmed cell death.

Abstract
Glutathione is one of the major redox buffers in most aerobic cells, and it has a broad spectrum of functions in plants. Recent discoveries implicate this thiol peptide in signalling and cellular homeostasis. Glutathione can sense intracellular redox status: perturbations of glutathione reduction state are transduced into changes in gene expression. This central role demands precise control of both the concentration and the reduction state of glutathione in different compartments. In addition to the regulation of glutathione biosynthesis and redox state, attention is now turning to the role of glutathione transporters.

Abstract
Two electrogenic H(+)-pumps, the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and the vacuolar pyrophosphatase, coexist at membranes of the secretory pathway of plants. The V-ATPase is the dominant H(+)-pump at endomembranes of most plant cells, both in terms of protein amount and, frequently, also in activity. The V-ATPase is indispensable for plant growth under normal conditions due to its role in energizing secondary transport, maintenance of solute homeostasis and, possibly, in facilitating vesicle fusion. Under stress conditions such as salinity, drought, cold, acid stress, anoxia, and excess heavy metals in the soil, survival of the cells depends strongly on maintaining or adjusting the activity of the V-ATPase. Regulation of gene expression and activity are involved in adapting the V-ATPase on long- and short-term bases. The mechanisms known to regulate the V-ATPase are summarized in this paper with an emphasis on their implications for growth and development under stress.

Abstract
The plant vacuolar proton pump can be subjected to reversible redox regulation in vitro. The redox-dependent activity change involves disulfide bridge formation not only in Vatp A, as reported for bovine V-ATPase, but also in the stalk subunit Vatp E. Microsomal membranes isolated from barley leaves were analysed for their activity of bafilomycin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping using quinacrine fluorescence quenching in vesicle preparations. ATP hydrolysis and proton pumping activity were inhibited by H2O2. H2O2-deactivated ATPase was reactivated by cysteine and glutathione. The glutathione concentration needed for half maximal reactivation was 1 mmol l-1. The activity loss was accompanied by shifts in electrophoretic mobility of Vatp A and E which were reversed upon reductive reactivation. The redox-dependent shift was also seen with recombinant Vatp E, and was absent following site-directed mutagenesis of either of the two cys residues conserved throughout all plant Vatp E sequences. V-ATPase was also inhibited by oxidized thioredoxin. These results support the hypothesis that tuning of vacuolar ATPase activity can be mediated by redox control depending on the metabolic requirements.

Abstract
Vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) consists of a catalytic head, a stalk part and a membrane domain. We indirectly investigated the interaction between the A subunit (catalytic head) and the E subunit (stalk part) using an ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino]triphosphate (AMP-PNP), which holds the enzyme in the substrate-binding state. AMP-PNP treatment caused a mobility shift of the E subunit with a faster migration in SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis without a reductant, while ATP treatment did not. A mobility shift of the E subunit has been detected in several plants. As polypeptides with intramolecular disulfide bonds migrate faster than those without disulfide bonds, the mobility shift may be due to the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond by two cysteine residues conserved among several plant species. The mobility shift may be involved in the binding of AMP-PNP to the ATP-binding site, which exists in the A and B subunits, as it was inhibited by the addition of ATP. Pretreatment with 2'-3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (Bz-ATP), which modifies the ATP-binding site of the B subunit under UV illumination, did not inhibit the mobility shift of the E subunit caused by AMP-PNP treatment. The response of V-ATPase following the AMP-PNP binding may cause a conformational change in the E subunit into a form that is susceptible to oxidation of cysteine residues. This is the first demonstration of interaction between the A and E subunits in the substrate-binding state of a plant V-ATPase.

Abstract
The shape and overall dimensions of the oxidized and reduced form of the V(1) ATPase from Manduca sexta were investigated by synchrotron radiation x-ray solution scattering. The radius of gyration of the oxidized and reduced complex differ noticeably, with dimensions of 6. 20 +/- 0.06 and 5.84 +/- 0.06 nm, respectively, whereas the maximum dimensions remain constant at 22.0 +/- 0.1 nm. Comparison of the low resolution shapes of both forms, determined ab initio, indicates that the main structural alteration occurs in the head piece, where the major subunits A and B are located, and at the bottom of the stalk. In conjunction with the solution scattering data, decreased susceptibility to tryptic digestion and tryptophan fluorescence of the reduced V(1) molecule provide the first strong evidence for major structural changes in the V(1) ATPase because of redox modulation.

Abstract
The plant V-ATPase is a primary-active proton pump present at various components of the endomembrane system. It is assembled by different protein subunits which are located in two major domains, the membrane-integral V(o)-domain and the membrane peripheral V(1)-domain. At the plant vacuole the V-ATPase is responsible for energization of transport of ions and metabolites, and thus the V-ATPase is important as a 'house-keeping' and as a stress response enzyme. It has been shown that transcript and protein amount of the V-ATPase are regulated depending on metabolic conditions indicating that the expression of V-ATPase subunit is highly regulated. Moreover, there is increasing evidence that modulation of the holoenzyme structure might influence V-ATPase activity.
