The proton-pumping ATPase (H(+)-ATPase) of the plant plasma membrane generates the proton motive force across the plasma membrane that is necessary to activate most of the ion and metabolite transport. In recent years, important progress has been made concerning the identification and organization of H(+)-ATPase genes, their expression, and also the kinetics and regulation of individual H(+)-ATPase isoforms. At the gene level, it is now clear that H(+)-ATPase is encoded by a family of approximately 10 genes. Expression, monitored by in situ techniques, has revealed a specific distribution pattern for each gene; however, this seems to differ between species. In the near future, we can expect regulatory aspects of gene expression to be elucidated. Already the expression of individual plant H(+)-ATPases in yeast has shown them to have distinct enzymatic properties. It has also allowed regulatory aspects of this enzyme to be studied through random and site-directed mutagenesis, notably its carboxy-terminal region. Studies performed with both plant and yeast material have converged towards deciphering the way phosphorylation and binding of regulatory 14-3-3 proteins intervene in the modification of H(+)-ATPase activity. The production of high quantities of individual functional H(+)-ATPases in yeast constitutes an important step towards crystallization studies to derive structural information. Understanding the specific roles of H(+)-ATPase isoforms in whole plant physiology is another challenge that has been approached recently through the phenotypic analysis of the first transgenic plants in which the expression of single H(+)-ATPases has been up- or down-regulated. In conclusion, the progress made recently concerning the H(+)-ATPase family, at both the gene and protein level, has come to a point where we can now expect a more integrated investigation of the expression, function and regulation of individual H(+)-ATPases in the whole plant context.

Taking the binding of fusicoccin to plasma membranes as an indicator of complex formation between the 14-3-3 dimer and H+-ATPase, we assessed the effect of osmotic stress on the interaction of these proteins in suspension-cultured cells of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). An increase in osmolarity of the cell incubation medium, accompanied by a decrease in turgor, was found to activate the H+ efflux 5-fold. The same increment was observed in the number of high-affinity fusicoccin-binding sites in isolated plasma membranes: the 14-3-3 content in the membranes increased 2- to 3-fold, while the H+-ATPase activity changed only slightly. The data obtained indicate that osmotic regulation of H+-ATPase in the plant plasma membrane is achieved via modulation of the coupling between H+ transport and ATP hydrolysis, and that such regulation involves 14-3-3 proteins.

Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the epithelial layer is fundamental to the maintenance of ionic concentration gradients and transparency of the lens. Recently we have identified endogenous digitalislike compounds (DLC), 19-norbufalin and its peptide derivatives, in human cataractous lenses (Lichtstein et al. Eur J Biochem 216: 261-268, 1993). Lenses were treated with 10 nM ouabain, bufalin or 19-norbufalin derivative for 24 h and were compared to control lenses. Differential display analysis revealed that one of the down-regulated genes was 14-3-3 theta. Down-regulation was confirmed by Northern blot and by RT-PCR analysis. RT-PCR of additional 14-3-3 isoforms revealed that the eta and gamma isoforms of 14-3-3 are also down-regulated by ouabain, bufalin and 19-norbufalin derivative, whereas the zeta isoform is down-regulated only by bufalin. These results demonstrate that one of the consequences of Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition by exogenous or endogenous inhibitors is the down-regulation of mRNA transcripts encoding several isoforms of 14-3-3. Since the 14-3-3 proteins are multifunctional regulatory proteins, the reduction in the abundance of various isoforms will have profound effects on cell function. Furthermore, These results, together with the demonstration of digitalislike compounds in the normal lens, and their increased level in human cataractous lenses, strongly suggests their involvement in the molecular mechanisms responsible for cataract formation.

14-3-3 proteins constitute a family of eukaryotic proteins that are key regulators of a large number of processes ranging from mitosis to apoptosis. 14-3-3s function as dimers and bind to particular motifs in their target proteins. To date, 14-3-3s have been implicated in regulation or stabilization of more than 35 different proteins. This number is probably only a fraction of the number of proteins that 14-3-3s bind to, as reports of new target proteins have become more frequent. An examination of 14-3-3 entries in the public databases reveals 153 isoforms, including alleloforms, reported in 48 different species. The number of isoforms range from 2, in the unicellular organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to 12 in the multicellular organism Arabidopsis thaliana. A phylogenetic analysis reveals that there are four major evolutionary lineages: Viridiplantae (plants), Fungi, Alveolata, and Metazoa (animals). A close examination of the aligned amino acid sequences identifies conserved amino acid residues and regions of importance for monomer stabilization, dimer formation, target protein binding, and the nuclear export function. Given the fact that 53% of the protein is conserved, including all amino acid residues in the target binding groove of the 14-3-3 monomer, one might expect little to no isoform specificity for target protein binding. However, using surface plasmon resonance we show that there are large differences in affinity between nine 14-3-3 isoforms of A. thaliana and a target peptide representing a novel binding motif present in the C terminus of the plant plasma membrane H(+)ATPase. Thus, our data suggest that one reason for the large number of isoforms found in multicellular organisms is isoform-specific functions.

The major plant plasma membrane H(+)-ATPases fall into two gene categories, subfamilies I and II. However, in many plant tissues, expression of the two subfamilies overlaps, thus precluding individual characterization. Yeast expression of PMA2 and PMA4, representatives of the two plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase subfamilies in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, has previously shown that (i) the isoforms have distinct enzymatic properties and that (ii) PMA2 is regulated by phosphorylation of its penultimate residue (Thr) and binds regulatory 14-3-3 proteins, resulting in the displacement of the autoinhibitory C-terminal domain. To obtain insights into regulatory differences between the two subfamilies, we have constructed various chimeric proteins in which the 110-residue C-terminal-encoding region of PMA2 was progressively substituted by the corresponding sequence from PMA4. The PMA2 autoinhibitory domain was localized to a region between residues 851 and 915 and could not be substituted by the corresponding region of PMA4. In contrast to PMA2, PMA4 was poorly phosphorylated at its penultimate residue (Thr) and bound 14-3-3 proteins weakly. The only sequence difference around the phosphorylation site is located two residues upstream of the phosphorylated Thr. It is Ser in PMA2 (as in most members of subfamily I) and His in PMA4 (as in most members of subfamily II). Substitution of His by Ser in PMA4 resulted in an enzyme showing increased phosphorylation status, 14-13-3 binding, and ATPase activity, as well as improved yeast growth. The reverse substitution of Ser by His in PMA2 resulted in the failure of this enzyme to complement the absence of yeast H(+)-ATPases. These results show that the two plant H(+)-ATPase subfamilies differ functionally in their regulatory properties.

Phagosomes are key organelles for the innate ability of macrophages to participate in tissue remodeling, clear apoptotic cells, and restrict the spread of intracellular pathogens. To understand the functions of phagosomes, we initiated the systematic identification of their proteins. Using a proteomic approach, we identified >140 proteins associated with latex bead-containing phagosomes. Among these were hydrolases, proton pump ATPase subunits, and proteins of the fusion machinery, validating our approach. A series of unexpected proteins not previously described along the endocytic/phagocytic pathways were also identified, including the apoptotic proteins galectin3, Alix, and TRAIL, the anti-apoptotic protein 14-3-3, the lipid raft-enriched flotillin-1, the anti-microbial molecule lactadherin, and the small GTPase rab14. In addition, 24 spots from which the peptide masses could not be matched to entries in any database potentially represent new phagosomal proteins. The elaboration of a two-dimensional gel database of >160 identified spots allowed us to analyze how phagosome composition is modulated during phagolysosome biogenesis. Remarkably, during this process, hydrolases are not delivered in bulk to phagosomes, but are instead acquired sequentially. The systematic characterization of phagosome proteins provided new insights into phagosome functions and the protein or groups of proteins involved in and regulating these functions.

The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is activated by blue light with concomitant binding of the 14-3-3 protein to the C terminus in guard cells. Because several isoforms of the 14-3-3 protein are expressed in plants, we determined which isoform(s) bound to the H(+)-ATPase in vivo. Four cDNA clones (vf14-3-3a, vf14-3-3b, vf14-3-3c, and vf14-3-3d) encoding 14-3-3 proteins were isolated from broad bean (Vicia faba) guard cells. Northern analysis revealed that mRNAs encoding vf14-3-3a and vf14-3-3b proteins were expressed predominantly in guard cells. The 14-3-3 protein that bound to the H(+)-ATPase in guard cells had the same molecular mass as the recombinant vf14-3-3a protein. The H(+)-ATPase immunoprecipitated from mesophyll cell protoplasts, which had been stimulated by fusicoccin, coprecipitated with the 32.5-kD 14-3-3 protein, although three 14-3-3 isoproteins were found in mesophyll cell protoplasts. Digestions of the bound 14-3-3 protein and recombinant vf14-3-3a with cyanogen bromide gave the identical migration profiles on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but that of vf14-3-3b gave a different profile. Mass profiling of trypsin-digested 14-3-3 protein bound to the H(+)-ATPase gave the predicted peptide masses of vf14-3-3a. Far western analysis revealed that the H(+)-ATPase had a higher affinity for vf14-3-3a than for vf14-3-3b. These results suggest that the 14-3-3 protein that bound to the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase in vivo is vf14-3-3a and that it may play a key role in the activation of H(+)-ATPase in guard cells.

Most transport proteins in plant cells are energized by electrochemical gradients of protons across the plasma membrane. The formation of these gradients is due to the action of plasma membrane H+ pumps fuelled by ATP. The plasma membrane H+-ATPases share a membrane topography and general mechanism of action with other P-type ATPases, but differ in regulatory properties. Recent advances in the field include the identification of the complete H+-ATPase gene family in Arabidopsis, analysis of H+-ATPase function by the methods of reverse genetics, an improved understanding of the posttranslational regulation of pump activity by 14-3-3 proteins, novel insights into the H+ transport mechanism, and progress in structural biology. Furthermore, the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of a related Ca2+ pump has implications for understanding of structure-function relationships for the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase.

P-type ATPases convert chemical energy into electrochemical gradients that are used to energize secondary active transport. Analysis of the structure and function of P-type ATPases has been limited by the lack of active recombinant ATPases in quantities suitable for crystallographic studies aiming at solving their three-dimensional structure. We have expressed Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane H+-ATPase isoform AHA2, equipped with a His(6)-tag, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The H+-ATPase could be purified both in the presence and in the absence of regulatory 14-3-3 protein depending on the presence of the diterpene fusicoccin which specifically induces formation of the H+-ATPase/14-3-3 protein complex. Amino acid analysis of the purified complex suggested a stoichiometry of two 14-3-3 proteins per H+-ATPase polypeptide. The purified H(+)-ATPase readily formed two-dimensional crystals following reconstitution into lipid vesicles. Electron cryo-microscopy of the crystals yielded a projection map at approximately 8 A resolution, the p22(1)2(1) symmetry of which suggests a dimeric protein complex. Three distinct regions of density of approximately equal size are apparent and may reflect different domains in individual molecules of AHA2.

Although a well ascertained evidence proves that the activity of the plant plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is regulated by 14-3-3 proteins, information about physiological factors modulating the phosphorylation-dependent association between 14-3-3 proteins and the proton pump is largely incomplete. In this paper we show that the 5'-AMP-mimetic, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR), inhibits the fusicoccin-promoted proton extrusion in maize roots. We also demonstrate that 5'-AMP inhibits the association of 14-3-3 proteins with the C-terminal domain of the H(+)-ATPase in an overlay assay as well as the 14-3-3-dependent stimulation of the Arabidopsis thaliana H(+)-ATPase AHA1 isoform expressed in yeast membranes. Finally, by means of affinity chromatography with immobilized 5'-AMP and trinitrophenyl-AMP fluorescence analysis, we demonstrate that the 14-3-3 isoform GF14-6 from maize is able to bind 5'-AMP. The possible role of 5'-AMP as a general regulator of 14-3-3 functions in the plant cell is discussed.
