AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 Control Cellular K(+) and pH Homeostasis in Arabidopsis: Three Conserved Acidic Residues Are Essential for K(+) Transport
AtNHX5 and AtNHX6, the endosomal Na(+),K(+)/H(+) antiporters in Arabidopsis, play an important role in plant growth and development. However, their function in K(+) and pH homeostasis remains unclear. In this report, we characterized the function of AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 in K(+) and H(+) homeostasis in...

description | AtNHX5 and AtNHX6, the endosomal Na(+),K(+)/H(+) antiporters in Arabidopsis, play an important role in plant growth and development. However, their function in K(+) and pH homeostasis remains unclear. In this report, we characterized the function of AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 in K(+) and H(+) homeostasis in Arabidopsis. Using a yeast expression system, we found that AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 recovered tolerance to high K(+) or salt. We further found that AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 functioned at high K(+) at acidic pH while AtCHXs at low K(+) under alkaline conditions. In addition, we showed that the nhx5 nhx6 double mutant contained less K(+) and was sensitive to low K(+) treatment. Overexpression of AtNHX5 or AtNHX6 gene in nhx5 nhx6 recovered root growth to the wild-type level. Three conserved acidic residues, D164, E188, and D193 in AtNHX5 and D165, E189, and D194 in AtNHX6, were essential for K(+) homeostasis and plant growth. nhx5 nhx6 had a reduced vacuolar and cellular pH as measured with the fluorescent pH indicator BCECF or semimicroelectrode. We further show that AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 are localized to Golgi and TGN. Taken together, AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 play an important role in K(+) and pH homeostasis in Arabidopsis. Three conserved acidic residues are essential for K(+) transport. |
