Two Types of Channels Involved in the Malate Ion Transport across the Tonoplast of a Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Plant.

چکیده
Ion channels in tonoplast of leaf cells of a Crassulacean acid metabolism plant, Graptopetalum paraguayense, using the patch clamp technique were investigated. Results showed the existence of two types of channels involved in the malate ion transport across the tonoplast. One type corresponded to the slow-activating vacuolar-type (R Hedrich, E Neher [1987] Nature 329: 833-836), probably taking part in the malate efflux from vacuoles. Another showed the membrane potential-dependent channel current of malate flux over a wide range of cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration (10(-8)-10(-5) molar), a property favoring the malate uptake. This type seems to be different from the fast-activating vacuolar-type.

Anion uptake by isolated tonoplast vesicles was recorded indirectly via increased H(+)-transport by H(+)-pumping of the V-ATPase due to dissipation of the electrical component of the electrochemical proton gradient, Deltamu(H+), across the membrane. ATP hydrolysis by the V-ATPase was measured simultaneously after the Palmgren test. Normalizing for ATP-hydrolysis and effects of chloride, which w...
متن کاملMalate transport and vacuolar ion channels in CAM plants.
Malate is a ubiquitous vacuolar anion in terrestrial plants that plays an important role in carbon metabolism and ionic homeostasis. In plants showing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), malate is accumulated as a central intermediary in the process of photosynthetic carbon assimilation, and it is also one of the major charge-balancing anions present in the vacuole. During the CAM cycle, malic ...

Citrus juice cells accumulate high levels of citric acid in their vacuoles when compared to other organic ions including malate. Uptake of citrate into tonoplast vesicles from Citrus juice cells was investigated in the presence of malate, and after incubation with antibodies raised against the vacuolar malate-specific channel of Kalanchoë diagremontiana leaves. Antibodies against the vacuolar m...
متن کاملCrassulacean Acid Metabolism
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a CO2 acquisition, CO2 transient storage and CO2 concentrating mechanism based on organic acid synthesis. CO2 acquisition occurs in the dark. CO2 is fixed and stored in the form of organic acids. Remobilization of CO2 from the organic acids occurs in the light and leads to massive CO2 concentration inside photosynthesizing plant organs (green leaves or stem...
