Plant proton pumps
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Chemiosmotic circuits of plant cells are driven by proton
(H+) gradients that mediate secondary active transport of
compounds across plasma and endosomal membranes. Furthermore,
regulation of endosomal acidification is critical for endocytic
and secretory pathways. For plants to react to their
constantly changing environments and at the same time maintain
optimal metabolic conditions, the expression, activity and interplay
of the pumps generating these H+ gradients have to be
tightly regulated. In this review, we will highlight results on the
regulation, localization and physiological roles of these H+-
pumps, namely the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, the vacuolar
H+-ATPase and the vacuolar H+-PPase.
