Phosphoinositides control the localization of HOPS subunit VPS41, which together with VPS33 mediates vacuole fusion in plants

Brillada, C., Zheng, J., Krüger, F., Rovira-Diaz, E., Askani, J. C., Schumacher, K., & Rojas-Pierce, M. (2018, August 13). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 115, pp. E8305–E8314.

author keywords: Arabidopsis; vacuole fusion; HOPS; SNARE; phosphoinositides
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Membrane Fusion / physiology; Membrane Proteins / genetics; Membrane Proteins / metabolism; Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates / genetics; Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates / metabolism; Vacuoles / genetics; Vacuoles / metabolism; Vesicular Transport Proteins / genetics; Vesicular Transport Proteins / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Molecular Biology Research; Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis; Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms
TL;DR: It is shown that Arabidopsis HOPS subunits VPS33 and VPS41 accumulate in late endosomes and that VPS 41, but not VPS 33, accumulates in the tonoplast via a wortmannin-sensitive process, and that HOPS–SNARE interactions at the initial stage are similar to other eukaryotes.

author keywords: Amyloplasts; cytoskeleton; gravitropism; SNARE; vacuole; wortmannin
MeSH headings : Androstadienes / pharmacology; Arabidopsis / drug effects; Arabidopsis / growth & development; Arabidopsis / ultrastructure; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / physiology; Gravitropism / drug effects; Gravitropism / physiology; Hypocotyl / drug effects; Hypocotyl / growth & development; Microscopy; Qb-SNARE Proteins / genetics; Qb-SNARE Proteins / physiology; Vacuoles / drug effects; Vacuoles / physiology; Vacuoles / ultrastructure; Wortmannin
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Molecular Biology Research; Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms; Light effects on plants
TL;DR: The highly restricted movement of amyloplasts in graviperceptive cells of zig-1 hypocotyls is overcome by wortmannin treatment, suggesting a physical association between amylplasts and the vacuole. (via Semantic Scholar)

Homotypic Vacuole Fusion Requires VTI11 and Is Regulated by Phosphoinositides

Zheng, J., Han, S. W., Rodriguez-Welsh, M. F., & Rojas-Pierce, M. (2014, February 25). Molecular Plant, Vol. 7, pp. 1026–1040.

By: J. Zheng n, S. Han n, M. Rodriguez-Welsh n & M. Rojas-Pierce* 

Contributors: J. Zheng n, S. Han n, M. Rodriguez-Welsh n & M. Rojas-Pierce* 

author keywords: vacuole; SNARE; phosphoinositides; membrane fusion; Wortmannin
MeSH headings : Androstadienes / pharmacology; Arabidopsis / drug effects; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Chromones / pharmacology; Morpholines / pharmacology; Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates / metabolism; Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase Inhibitors; Qb-SNARE Proteins / metabolism; Vacuoles / metabolism; Wortmannin
topics (OpenAlex): Cellular transport and secretion; Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis; Studies on Chitinases and Chitosanases
TL;DR: A ubiquitous role of phosphoinositides in vacuole fusion is suggested, both during the development of the large central vacuoles and during the dynamic vacUole remodeling that occurs as part of stomata movements. (via Semantic Scholar)
