Role of Proton Motive Force in Photoinduction of Cytoplasmic Streaming in <i>Vallisneria</i> Mesophyll Cells

In mesophyll cells of the aquatic monocot <i>Vallisneria</i>, red light induces rotational cytoplasmic streaming, which is regulated by the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Our previous investigations revealed that red light induces Ca<sup>2+</sup> ef...

description In mesophyll cells of the aquatic monocot <i>Vallisneria</i>, red light induces rotational cytoplasmic streaming, which is regulated by the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Our previous investigations revealed that red light induces Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux across the plasma membrane (PM), and that both the red light-induced cytoplasmic streaming and the Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux are sensitive to vanadate, an inhibitor of P-type ATPases. In this study, pharmacological experiments suggested the involvement of PM H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase, one of the P-type ATPases, in the photoinduction of cytoplasmic streaming. We hypothesized that red light would activate PM H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase to generate a large H<sup>+</sup> motive force (PMF) in a photosynthesis-dependent manner. We demonstrated that indeed, photosynthesis increased the PMF and induced phosphorylation of the penultimate residue, threonine, of PM H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase, which is a major activation mechanism of H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase. The results suggested that a large PMF generated by PM H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase energizes the Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux across the PM. As expected, we detected a putative Ca<sup>2+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> exchange activity in PM vesicles isolated from <i>Vallisneria</i> leaves.
