1. Model of ABC Transporters, H+ Primary Pumps, H+-Coupled Transporters, and Channels in a Simplified Tonoplast.Glutathione S-conjugate (GS-X) and metabolite (M) transport is achieved by an ABC transporter(s).
Model of ABC Transporters, H+ Primary Pumps, H+-Coupled Transporters, and Channels in a Simplified Tonoplast.Glutathione S-conjugate (GS-X) and metabolite (M) transport is achieved by an ABC transporter(s). An electrogenic H+-ATPase (V-type) and an H+-PPase acidify the vacuole. The proton motive force provides energy for uptake and release of solutes (i.e., cations, anions, and organic solutes, denoted A, B, or C indiscriminately here) across the tonoplast through transporters and channels. Water channels (aquaporins) facilitate the passive exchange of water.
