Recent genetic analysis showed that phototropins (phot1 and phot2) function as blue light receptors in stomatal opening of Arabidopsis thaliana, but no biochemical evidence was provided for this. We prepared a large quantity of guard cell protoplasts from Arabidopsis. The immunological method indicated that phot1 was present in guard cell protoplasts from the wild-type plant and the phot2 mutant, that phot2 was present in those from the wild-type plant and the phot1 mutant, and that neither phot1 nor phot2 was present in those from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. However, the same amounts of plasma membrane H+-ATPase were found in all of these plants. H+ pumping was induced by blue light in isolated guard cell protoplasts from the wild type, from the single mutants of phototropins (phot1-5 and phot2-1), and from the zeaxanthin-less mutant (npq1-2), but not from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. Moreover, increased ATP hydrolysis and the binding of 14-3-3 protein to the H+-ATPase were found in response to blue light in guard cell protoplasts from the wild type, but not from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. These results indicate that phot1 and phot2 mediate blue light-dependent activation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and illustrate that Arabidopsis guard cell protoplasts can be useful for biochemical analysis of stomatal functions. We determined isogenes of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and found the expression of all isogenes of functional plasma membrane H+-ATPases (AHA1-11) in guard cell protoplasts.

The AHA1 (activator of Hsp90 ATPase) family of proteins were exclusively conserved from yeast to humans, but little is known about their tissue distribution or biological function. In this study, a cDNA for a Bombyx mori AHA1 homologue, BmAHA1, was isolated from the testes of larvae on day 3 of the fifth instar using an mRNA differential display method. This cDNA encodes a protein with 341 amino acid residues. Gene expression studies revealed that BmAHA1 mRNA occurred prominently in the testes. In situ hybridization and immunostaining showed that the BmAHA1 mRNA signals were strongly detected in spermatogonial cells and primary spermatocytes at the fifth larval instar stage, whereas the BmAha1 protein was abundant in round and elongated spermatids at the pupal stage. The localization pattern of the accumulated protein in the elongated spermatids was reminiscent of that reported previously for microtubules, but the BmAha1 protein showed a decrease in apparent concentration during maturation process. The stage- and cell-specific expression indicated that BmAha1 might play a role in silkworm spermatogenesis, especially in postmeiotic differentiation.

Polyamines are abundant polycationic compounds involved in many plant physiological processes such as cell division, dormancy breaking, plant morphogenesis and response to environmental stresses. In this study, we investigated the possible role of these polycations in modulating the association of 14-3-3 proteins with the H(+)-ATPase. In vivo experiments demonstrate that, among the different polyamines, spermine brings about 2-fold stimulation of the H(+)-ATPase activity and this effect is due to an increase in 14-3-3 levels associated with the enzyme. In vivo administration of polyamine synthesis inhibitors causes a small but statistically significant decrease of the H(+)-ATPase phosphohydrolytic activity, demonstrating a physiological role for the polyamines in regulating the enzyme activity. Spermine stimulates the activity of the H(+)-ATPase AHA1 expressed in yeast, in the presence of exogenous 14-3-3 proteins, with a calculated S(50) of 70 microM. Moreover, spermine enhances the in vitro interaction of 14-3-3 proteins with the H(+)-ATPase and notably induces 14-3-3 association with the unphosphorylated C-terminal domain of the proton pump. Comparison of spermine with Mg(2+), necessary for binding of 14-3-3 proteins to different target proteins, shows that the polyamine effect is stronger than and additive to that of the divalent cation.

Light activates proton (H(+))-ATPases in guard cells, to drive hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane to initiate stomatal opening, allowing diffusion of ambient CO(2) to photosynthetic tissues. Light to darkness transition, high CO(2) levels and the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) promote stomatal closing. The overall H(+)-ATPase activity is diminished by ABA treatments, but the significance of this phenomenon in relationship to stomatal closure is still debated. We report two dominant mutations in the OPEN STOMATA2 (OST2) locus of Arabidopsis that completely abolish stomatal response to ABA, but importantly, to a much lesser extent the responses to CO(2) and darkness. The OST2 gene encodes the major plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase AHA1, and both mutations cause constitutive activity of this pump, leading to necrotic lesions. H(+)-ATPases have been traditionally assumed to be general endpoints of all signaling pathways affecting membrane polarization and transport. Our results provide evidence that AHA1 is a distinct component of an ABA-directed signaling pathway, and that dynamic downregulation of this pump during drought is an essential step in membrane depolarization to initiate stomatal closure.

Sucrose is the main product of photosynthesis and the most common transport form of carbon in plants. In addition, sucrose is a compound that serves as a signal affecting metabolic flux and development. Here we provide first results of externally induced phosphorylation changes of plasma membrane proteins in Arabidopsis. In an unbiased approach, seedlings were grown in liquid medium with sucrose and then depleted of carbon before sucrose was resupplied. Plasma membranes were purified, and phosphopeptides were enriched and subsequently analyzed quantitatively by mass spectrometry. In total, 67 phosphopeptides were identified, most of which were quantified over five time points of sucrose resupply. Among the identified phosphorylation sites, the well described phosphorylation site at the C terminus of plasma membrane H(+)-ATPases showed a relative increase in phosphorylation level in response to sucrose. This corresponded to a significant increase of proton pumping activity of plasma membrane vesicles from sucrose-supplied seedlings. A new phosphorylation site was identified in the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase AHA1 and/or AHA2. This phosphorylation site was shown to be crucial for ATPase activity and overrode regulation via the well known C-terminal phosphorylation site. Novel phosphorylation sites were identified for both receptor kinases and cytosolic kinases that showed rapid increases in relative intensities after short times of sucrose treatment. Seven response classes were identified including non-responsive, rapid increase (within 3 min), slow increase, and rapid decrease. Relative quantification of phosphorylation changes by phosphoproteomics provides a means for identification of fast responses to external stimuli in plants as a basis for further functional characterization.

AHA1 (activator of HSP90 ATPase) is a cochaperone of the ATP-dependent molecular chaperone, HSP90, which is involved in the maturation, stabilization/degradation, and function of oncogenic proteins. HSP90 operates in a multimeric complex driven by the binding and hydrolysis of ATP. Treatment of cells with the HSP90 inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) results in the degradation of client proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. As AHA1 increases the ATPase activity of HSP90, we hypothesized that modulation of AHA1 expression could influence the activity of client proteins and/or the cellular response to 17-AAG. We show that the basal expression of AHA1 is different across a panel of human cancer cell lines, and that treatment with 17-AAG resulted in sustained AHA1 up-regulation. Increasing the expression of AHA1 did not affect the sensitivity to 17-AAG, but did increase C-RAF activity and the levels of phosphorylated MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 without affecting total levels of these proteins or of client proteins C-RAF, ERBB2, or CDK4. Conversely, small interfering RNA-selective knockdown of >80% of AHA1 expression decreased C-RAF activity and reduced the levels of MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Moreover, the AHA1 knockdown resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) increase in sensitivity to 17-AAG, due in part to a 2- to 3-fold increase in apoptosis. These results show that the reduction of AHA1 levels could decrease the phosphorylation of key signal transduction proteins, and for the first time, separate the activation and stabilization functions of HSP90. Furthermore, AHA1 knockdown could sensitize cancer cells to 17-AAG. We conclude that modulation of AHA1 might be a potential therapeutic strategy to increase sensitivity to HSP90 inhibitors.

As one of the major genes encoding plasma membrane H+ -ATPase, AHA1 gene plays an important role in regulating plant development and resistance to adverse stress. Taking AHA1 transgenic and wild type Arabidopsis thaliana as test plants, the nutrient uptake, resistance to oxidative stress, and organic acid secretion of the plants under aluminum (Al) stress were examined. The results showed that Al decreased the uptake of nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), but increased the phosphorus (P) uptake by A. thaliana roots. AHA1 transgenic plant could accumulate more P and less Al than wild type plant. Al stress induced the increase of plant SOD and POD activities, but no significant difference was observed between AHA1 transgenic and wild type A. thaliana. Al triggered the secretion of organic acids significantly, and AHA1 transgenic plant secreted more organic acids than wild type plant. Vanadate, an inhibitor of plasma membrane H+ -ATPase, could inhibit the secretion of organic acids significantly, while Zn2+ and Mg2+ could promote the Al-induced secretion, and partially improve the inhibitory effects triggered by vanadate. It was suggested that AHA1 transgenic A. thaliana could increase its Al resistance via enhanced P uptake and organic acid secretion.

SGT1 (Suppressor of G2 allele of skp1), a co-chaperone of HSP90 (Heat-shock protein 90), is required for innate immunity in plants and animals. Unveiling the cross talks between SGT1 and other co-chaperones such as p23, AHA1 (Activator of HSP90 ATPase 1) or RAR1 (Required for Mla12 resistance) is an important step towards understanding the HSP90 machinery. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mutational analyses of HSP90 revealed the nature of its binding with the CS domain of SGT1. Although CS is structurally similar to p23, these domains were found to non-competitively bind to various regions of HSP90; yet, unexpectedly, full-length SGT1 could displace p23 from HSP90. RAR1 partly shares the same binding site with HSP90 as the CS domain, whereas AHA1 does not. This analysis allowed us to build a structural model of the HSP90-SGT1 complex and to obtain a compensatory mutant pair between both partners that is able to restore virus resistance in vivo through Rx (Resistance to potato virus X) immune sensor stabilization.

Here, we have analysed the H(+)-ATPase-mediated extrusion of protons across the plasma membrane (PM) of rhizodermic cells, a process that is inducible by iron (Fe) deficiency and thought to serve in the mobilization of sparingly soluble Fe sources. The induction and function of Fe-responsive PM H(+)-ATPases in Arabidopsis roots was investigated by gene expression analysis and by using mutants defective in the expression or function of one of the isogenes. In addition, the expression of the most responsive isogenes was investigated in natural Arabidopsis accessions that have been selected for their in vivo proton extrusion activity. Our data suggest that the rhizosphere acidification in response to Fe deficiency is chiefly mediated by AHA2, while AHA1 functions as a housekeeping isoform. The aha7 knock-out mutant plants showed a reduced frequency of root hairs, suggesting an involvement of AHA7 in the differentiation of rhizodermic cells. Acidification capacity varied among Arabidopsis accessions and was associated with a high induction of AHA2 and IRT1, a high relative growth rate and a shoot-root ratio that was unaffected by the external Fe supply. An effective regulation of the Fe-responsive genes and a stable shoot-root ratio may represent important characteristics for the Fe uptake efficiency.

Pathogen perception by the plant innate immune system is of central importance to plant survival and productivity. The Arabidopsis protein RIN4 is a negative regulator of plant immunity. In order to identify additional proteins involved in RIN4-mediated immune signal transduction, we purified components of the RIN4 protein complex. We identified six novel proteins that had not previously been implicated in RIN4 signaling, including the plasma membrane (PM) H(+)-ATPases AHA1 and/or AHA2. RIN4 interacts with AHA1 and AHA2 both in vitro and in vivo. RIN4 overexpression and knockout lines exhibit differential PM H(+)-ATPase activity. PM H(+)-ATPase activation induces stomatal opening, enabling bacteria to gain entry into the plant leaf; inactivation induces stomatal closure thus restricting bacterial invasion. The rin4 knockout line exhibited reduced PM H(+)-ATPase activity and, importantly, its stomata could not be re-opened by virulent Pseudomonas syringae. We also demonstrate that RIN4 is expressed in guard cells, highlighting the importance of this cell type in innate immunity. These results indicate that the Arabidopsis protein RIN4 functions with the PM H(+)-ATPase to regulate stomatal apertures, inhibiting the entry of bacterial pathogens into the plant leaf during infection.
