The plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase couples ATP hydrolysis to proton transport across the plasma membrane, thereby establishing the driving force for solute transport into and out of plant cells. As such, the H+-ATPase participates in a number of cellular processes important to the overall physiology of plants. From biochemical studies and recent application of molecular approaches, the molecular structure and function of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase have been characterized. This review summarizes currently available informations on the molecular structure and function of the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase. Especially, the interaction between the H+-ATPase molecules and phospholipids on proton pumping is also discussed.
