Recent genetic analysis showed that phototropins (phot1 and phot2) function as blue light receptors in stomatal opening of Arabidopsis thaliana, but no biochemical evidence was provided for this. We prepared a large quantity of guard-cell protoplasts from Arabidopsis. The immunological method indicated that phot1 was present in guard-cell protoplasts from the wild-type plant and the phot2 mutant, that phot2 was present in those from the wild-type plant and the phot1 mutant, and that neither phot1 nor phot2 was present in those from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. However, the same amounts of plasma membrane H+-ATPase were found in all of these plants. H+ pumping was induced by blue light in isolated guard-cell protoplasts from the wild-type, from the single mutants of phototropins (phot1-5 and phot2-1), and from the zeaxanthin-less mutant (npq1-2), but not from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. Moreover, increased ATP hydrolysis, and the binding of 14-3-3 protein to the H+-ATPase were found in response to blue light in guard-cell protoplasts from the wild-type, but not from the phot1 phot2 double mutant. These results indicate that phot1 and phot2 mediate blue light-dependent activation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and illustrate that Arabidopsis guard-cell protoplasts can be useful for biochemical analysis of stomatal functions. We determined isogenes of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and found the expression of all isogenes of functional plasma membrane H+-ATPases (AHA1-11) in guard-cell protoplasts.
