Cytosolic Concentration of Ca2+ Regulates the Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase in Guard Cells of Fava Bean.

Opening of the stomata is driven by the light-activated plasma membrane proton pumping ATPase, although the activation and inactivation mechanism of the enzyme is not known. In this study, we show that the H+-ATPase in guard cells is reversibly inhibited by Ca2+ at physiological concentrations. Isolated microsomal membranes of guard cell protoplasts from fava bean exhibited vanadate-sensitive, ATP-dependent proton pumping. The activity was inhibited almost completely by 1 [mu]M Ca2+ with a half-inhibitory concentration at 0.3 [mu]M and was restored immediately by the addition of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane N,N,N[prime],N[prime]-tetraacetic acid, a calcium chelating reagent. Similar reversible inhibition by Ca2+ was shown by the generation of electrical potential in the membranes. Activity of ATP hydrolysis was inhibited similarly by Ca2+ in the same membrane preparations. The addition of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane N,N,N[prime],N[prime]-tetraacetic acid and EGTA, Ca2+ chelators, to epidermal peels of fava bean induced stomatal opening in the dark, and the opening was suppressed by vanadate. This suggests that the lowered cytosolic Ca2+ activated the proton pump in vivo and that the activated pump elicited stomatal opening. Inhibition of H+-ATPase by Ca2+ may depolarize the membrane potential and could be a key step in the process of stomatal closing through activation of the anion channels. Furthermore, similar inhibition of the proton pumping and ATP hydrolysis by Ca2+ was found in isolated plasma membranes of mesophyll cells of fava bean. These results suggest that Ca2+ regulates the activity of plasma membrane H+-ATPases in higher plant cells, thereby modulating stomatal movement and other cellular processes in plants.
