How can you use “tonoplast” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The original definition of the PIP and TIP subfamilies was their assumed location in the plasma membrane and tonoplast, respectively.

  • The catalytic subunit exists as two distinct genes with highly conserved exons and intron boundaries in twelve species of plants [ 25 ] . In the flowering plant Daucus carota (carrot) evidence exists for two distinct isoforms for the catalytic subunit, one of which is tonoplast specific while the other is localized to the Golgi [ 26 ] . In addition, two distinct mRNAs have been isolated from cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ) [ 27 ] . Two subunit A mRNAs are expressed in the unicellular alga Acetabularia acetabulum [ 28 29 ] . Isoforms of other V-ATPase subunits are also known from plants including subunit B [ 27 30 32 ] , the proteolipid subunit [ 33 34 35 36 37 ] and subunits D and E [ 38 ] .

  • An Arabidopsis CPK phosphorylates tonoplast intrinsic protein, α-TIP, a putative water-channel protein [ 76].

  • Subjecting NaCl adapted cells to salt stress resulted in an approximately four fold increase in both proton transport and ATP hydrolysis on isolated membranes compared to unadapted cells [ 58 ] . Remarkably this increase in overall V-ATPase activity coincided with an apparent reduction in the amount of enzyme on the tonoplast.

  • The influx of water and metabolites into the vacuole is dependent in part on the generation of a proton motive force across the tonoplast.
