Abstract
In the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, the salt- or age-induced transition to crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) leads to the occurrence of a tonoplast-bound 32 kDa polypeptide (Di). The alignment of its N-terminal protein sequence with protein sequences of recently cloned higher plant V-ATPase B-subunits indicates that Di may be derived from subunit B by proteolytic removal of a protein fragment of about 20 kDa from its N-terminus. Furthermore, an antiserum directed against Di cross-reacts with subunit B from Nicotiana tabacum. It inhibits both proton pumping and ATP hydrolysis of the holoenzyme in M. crystallinum. As Di remains firmly attached to the holoenzyme the proteolytic processing may have functional implications.Keywords
