pH Regulation by NHX-Type Antiporters Is Required for Receptor-Mediated Protein Trafficking to the Vacuole in Arabidopsis.
Protein trafficking requires proper ion and pH homeostasis of the endomembrane system. The NHX-type Na(+)/H(+) antiporters NHX5 and NHX6 localize to the Golgi, trans-Golgi network, and prevacuolar compartments and are required for growth and trafficking to the vacuole. In the nhx5 nhx6 T-DNA insertional knockouts, the precursors of the 2S albumin and 12S globulin storage proteins accumulated an...
متن کاملHow do vacuolar NHX exchangers function in plant salt tolerance?
Potassium (K(+)) is a major osmoticum of plant cells, and the vacuolar accumulation of this element is a especially crucial feature for plants under high-salt conditions. Emerging evidence indicates that cation/proton transporters of the NHX family are instrumental in the H(+)-linked K(+) transport that mediate active K(+) uptake at the tonoplast for the unequal partitioning of K(+) between vac...
متن کاملDifferential expression and function of Arabidopsis thaliana NHX Na+/H+ antiporters in the salt stress response.
The Arabidopsis thaliana vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter AtNHX1 is a salt tolerance determinant. Predicted amino acid sequence similarity, protein topology and the presence of functional domains conserved in AtNHX1 and prototypical mammalian NHE Na+/H+ exchangers led to the identification of five additional AtNHX genes (AtNHX2-6). The AtNHX1 and AtNHX2 mRNAs are the most prevalent transcripts among ...
متن کاملThe ins and outs of intracellular ion homeostasis: NHX-type cation/H(+) transporters.
The biochemical characterization of cation/H(+) exchange has been known since 1985 [1], yet only recently have we begun to understand the contribution of individual exchangers to ion homeostasis in plants. One particularly important class of exchangers is the NHX-type that is associated with Na(+) transport and therefore salinity tolerance. New evidence suggests that under normal growth conditi...
متن کاملMonovalent cation/proton antiporters in membrane vesicles from Bacillus alcalophilus.
Alkalophilic bacilli maintain a cytoplasmic pH that is lower than optimal external pH values. The current study, using isolated membrane vesicles from Bacillus alcalophilus, indicates that respiration results in proton extrusion as in other organisms. Cation/proton antiporters then catalyze inward proton movements. Upon energization with ascorbate/N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, Na'-l...
