RESUMO
Previously, a partial-length cDNA and a complete genomic clone encoding a putative sarcoplasmic reticulum-type Ca2+-ATPase (LCA, Lycopersicon Ca2+-ATPase) were isolated from tomato. To determine the subcellular localization of this Ca2+-ATPase, specific polyclonal antibodies raised against a fusion protein encoding a portion of the LCA polypeptide were generated. Based on hybridization of the LCA cDNA and of the nucleotide sequence encoding the fusion protein to genomic DNA, it appears that LCA and the fusion protein domain are encoded by a single gene in tomato. Antibodies raised against the LCA domain fusion protein reacted specifically with two polypeptides of 116 and 120 kD that are localized in the vacuolar and plasma membranes, respectively. The distribution of vanadate-sensitive ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activities in sucrose gradients coincided with the distribution of the immunodetected proteins. The ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activities associated with tonoplast and plasma membrane fractions shared similar properties, because both fractions were inhibited by vanadate but insensitive to carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, nitrate, and calmodulin. Moreover, antibodies raised against the LCA domain fusion protein inhibited ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake activity associated with both the tonoplast and plasma membrane fractions. These data suggest that a single gene (LCA) may encode two P-type Ca2+-ATPase isoforms that are differentially localized in the tonoplast and plasma membrane of tomato roots.
