该研究组发现了一个序列蛋白磷酸化途径,其中两种不同类型的Raf样蛋白激酶C5-Raf和C7-Raf形成一个异复合体,磷酸化Thr881以激活PM H+-ATP酶。这一调控系统在从苔类植物到被子植物的谱系中高度保守。在拟南芥中,C5-Raf Raf36通过磷酸化多个拟南芥H+-ATP酶(AHAs)来调节植物生长。另外,另一种C5-Raf HT1与c7-Raf CBC1/2一起磷酸化AHA1T881,从而产生光诱导气孔打开的驱动力。他们的发现为理解PM H+-ATP酶在各种生理过程中的激活提供了一个框架,特别是在阐明光诱导气孔打开的完整机制方面。
据悉,质膜质子泵[PM H+-腺苷三磷酸酶(PM H+-ATP酶)]在植物中是必不可少的。C端磷酸化事件调节质子泵活性,如拟南芥AHA1中Thr881的磷酸化。

Abstract: The plasma membrane proton pump [PM H+-adenosine triphosphatase (PM H+-ATPase)] is essential in plants. C-terminal phosphorylation events regulate proton pump activity, such as Thr881 phosphorylation in Arabidopsis AHA1. We discovered a sequential protein phosphorylation pathway in which two distinct types of Raf-like protein kinases, C5-Raf and C7-Raf, form a heterocomplex that phosphorylates Thr881 to activate PM H+-ATPases. This regulatory system is highly conserved across lineages from liverworts to angiosperms. In Arabidopsis, a C5-Raf Raf36 regulates plant growth through the phosphorylation of multiple Arabidopsis H+-ATPases (AHAs). Additionally, another C5-Raf HT1 functions with C7-Rafs CBC1/2 to phosphorylate AHA1T881, thereby generating a driving force for light-induced stomatal opening. Our findings provide a framework for understanding PM H+-ATPase activation in various physiological processes, particularly in elucidating the complete mechanistic understanding of light-induced stomatal opening.
