Abstract
Plant cell wall (CWI) and vacuolar invertases (VI) play important roles in carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses and sugar signaling. Addressing the regulation of invertase activities by inhibitor proteins (C/VIF, cell wall/vacuolar inhibitor of fructosidase), we have identified two C/VIFs from Arabidopsis thaliana. AtC/VIF1 showed specific inhibition of VI activity, whereas AtC/VIF2 inhibited both, CWI and VI. Expression analysis revealed that expression of AtC/VIF1 was restricted to specific organs, AtC/VIF2, however, was weakly expressed throughout plant development. Promoter::GUS transformants confirmed pronounced differences of tissue/cell type-specific expression between both isoforms. Growth of an AtC/VIF1 T-DNA KO mutant was unaffected, but VI activity and hexose content were slightly increasedThis publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
