Tonoplast H⁺-ATPase (V-ATPase) activity and plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase (P-ATPase) activity in wild type Arabidopsis (ecotype Col-0) and Arabidopsis lines with manipulated tonoplast Ca²⁺/H⁺ exchange activity. 35S::CAX1 and 35S::CAX2 denote lines that overexpress a constitutively active N-terminally truncated CAX1 or CAX2 construct driven by the CaMV 35S promoter in the cax1-1 or cax2-1 mutant background, respectively. V-ATPase H⁺-transport activity was measured by the ATP-dependent quenching of quinacrine fluorescence, and rates of bafilomycin-sensitive, vanadate-resistant hydrolytic activity of the V-ATPase were determined in isolated tonoplast membranes, as described in refs. ¹¹ and ¹³. Rates of vanadate-sensitive, bafilomycin- and azide-resistant hydrolytic activity of the P-ATPase were determined in isolated plasma membranes, as described in ref. 14. Results are shown as % of wild type (Col-0) ATPase activity and are means ± SE of 3–4 independent experiments. Data taken and modified from refs. ¹¹–¹⁴.
