Abstract:
The assembly, sorting signals, and turnover of the tonoplast potassium channel AtTPK1 of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)
were studied. We used transgenic Arabidopsis expressing a TPK1-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion or protoplasts
transiently transformed with chimeric constructs based on domain exchange between TPK1 and TPK4, the only TPK family
member not located at the tonoplast. The results show that TPK1-GFP is a dimer and that the newly synthesized polypeptides
transiently interact with a thus-far unidentified 20-kD polypeptide. A subset of the TPK1-TPK4 chimeras were unable to
assemble correctly and these remained located in the endoplasmic reticulum where they interacted with the binding protein
chaperone. Therefore, TPK1 must assemble correctly to pass endoplasmic reticulum quality control. Substitution of the
cytosolic C terminus of TPK4 with the corresponding domain of TPK1 was sufficient to allow tonoplast delivery, indicating
that this domain contains tonoplast sorting information. Pulse-chase labeling indicated that TPK1-GFP has a half-life of at least
24 h. Turnover of the fusion protein involves internalization into the vacuole where the GFP domain is released. This indicates
a possible mechanism for the turnover of tonoplast proteins
