Abstract
Previous work with membrane vesicles has demonstrated an absolute dependence on K+ for proton translocation by the inorganic pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase: EC 3.6.1.1) from the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) of higher plants. Using intact vacuoles from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) storage tissue, we have monitored PP1-dependent currents by patch clamp in 'whole vacuole' mode. Serial K+ substitutions were made at both tonoplast faces. The results show that K+ activation occurs only at the cytosolic face.Entities:
