    Abstract

    Chemiosmotic circuits of plant cells are driven by proton

    (H+) gradients that mediate secondary active transport of

    compounds across plasma and endosomal membranes. Furthermore,

    regulation of endosomal acidification is critical for endocytic

    and secretory pathways. For plants to react to their

    constantly changing environments and at the same time maintain

    optimal metabolic conditions, the expression, activity and interplay

    of the pumps generating these H+ gradients have to be

    tightly regulated. In this review, we will highlight results on the

    regulation, localization and physiological roles of these H+-

    pumps, namely the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, the vacuolar

    H+-ATPase and the vacuolar H+-PPase.
