Descriptions
CAX1 plays a key role in determining cytosolic Ca2+ levels. A 36-amino acid N-terminal region on lCAX1 acts as an autoinhibitory domain for Ca2+/H+ transport activity. A synthetic peptide designed against the CAX1 36 amino acids inhibits Ca2+/H+ transport mediated by an N-terminal-truncated CAX1. The CAX1 N-terminal regulatory region physically interacts with the 7-amino acid region (residues 56-62) within CAX1.

calcium:proton antiporter complex | A protein complex that enables the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: Ca2+(in) + H+(out) = Ca2+(out) + H+(in). |
plant-type vacuole | A closed structure that is completely surrounded by a unit membrane, contains liquid, and retains the same shape regardless of cell cycle phase. An example of this structure is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. |
plant-type vacuole membrane | The lipid bilayer surrounding a vacuole that retains the same shape regardless of cell cycle phase. The membrane separates its contents from the cytoplasm of the cell. An example of this component is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. |
vacuole | A closed structure, found only in eukaryotic cells, that is completely surrounded by unit membrane and contains liquid material. Cells contain one or several vacuoles, that may have different functions from each other. Vacuoles have a diverse array of functions. They can act as a storage organelle for nutrients or waste products, as a degradative compartment, as a cost-effective way of increasing cell size, and as a homeostatic regulator controlling both turgor pressure and pH of the cytosol. |
