Abstract:
:Plant voltage-gated channels belonging to the Shaker family participate in sustained K+ transport processes at the cell and whole plant levels, such as K+ uptake from the soil solution, long-distance K+ transport in the xylem and phloem, and K+ fluxes in guard cells during stomatal movements. The attention here is focused on the regulation of these transport systems by protein-protein interactions. Clues to the identity of the regulatory mechanisms have been provided by electrophysiological approaches in planta or in heterologous systems, and through analogies with their animal counterparts. It has been shown that, like their animal homologues, plant voltage-gated channels can assemble as homo- or heterotetramers associating polypeptides encoded by different Shaker genes, and that they can bind auxiliary subunits homologous to those identified in mammals. Furthermore, several regulatory processes (involving, for example, protein kinases and phosphatases, G proteins, 14-3-3s, or syntaxins) might be common to plant and animal Shakers. However, the molecular identification of plant channel partners is still at its beginning. This paper reviews current knowledge on plant K+ channel regulation at the physiological and molecular levels, in the light of the corresponding knowledge in animal cells, and discusses perspectives for the deciphering of regulatory networks in the future.
