TLDR
Two pH sensors generated by combining the improved-solubility feature of solubility-modified green fluorescent protein with the pH-sensing capability of the pHluorins and codon optimized for expression in Arabidopsis are excellent pH sensors for visualization and quantification of pH in vivo, respectively.

Activation of the Rab7 GTPase by the MON1-CCZ1 Complex Is Essential for PVC-to-Vacuole Trafficking and Plant Growth in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Arabidopsis RABG3f, a member of the plant Rab7 small GTPase family, localizes to prevacuolar compartments (PVCs) and the tonoplast and is critical for vacuolar trafficking, vacuole biogenesis, and plant growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

V-ATPase activity in the TGN/EE is required for exocytosis and recycling in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is shown that the weak V-ATPase mutant deetiolated3 (det3) displayed a pH increase in the TGN/EE, but not in the vacuole, strongly impairing secretion and recycling of the brassinosteroid receptor and the cellulose synthase complexes to the plasma membrane, in contrast to mutants lacking tonoplast-localized V- ATPase activity only.

Plant endomembrane dynamics: studies of K+/H+ antiporters provide insights on the effects of pH and ion homeostasis

TL;DR: The regulation of cytosolic and vacuolar pH is reviewed, highlighting the similarities and distinctions of NHX and CHX members and suggesting that some CHXs differ from NHXs in pH sensing and electrogenicity.

Visualizing secretion and synaptic transmission with pH-sensitive green fluorescent proteins

TL;DR: PHluorins are developed pH-sensitive mutants of green fluorescent protein by structure-directed combinatorial mutagenesis, with the aim of exploiting the acidic pH inside secretory vesicles, to monitor vesicle exocytosis and recycling.

Sensors and regulators of intracellular pH

TL;DR: A dynamic, finely tuned balance between proton-extruding andProton-importing processes underlies pH homeostasis not only in the cytosol, but in other cellular compartments as well.

Removal of a cryptic intron and subcellular localization of green fluorescent protein are required to mark transgenic Arabidopsis plants brightly

TL;DR: The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria is finding wide use as a genetic marker that can be directly visualized in the living cells of many heterologous organisms as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of cytosolic, mitochondrial, and Golgi pH in single living cells with green fluorescent proteins.

TL;DR: The pH of the medial/trans-Golgi was measured and demonstrated that the Golgi membrane in intact cells is relatively permeable to H+, and that Cl- serves as a counter-ion for H+ transport and likely helps to maintain electroneutrality.
