The plasma membrane H+-ATPase in plant cells functions as a critical transporter, propelling protons against an electrochemical gradient. This action generates pH and potential differences across the plasma membrane, contributing to various plant physiological processes, including cell growth, nutrient absorption, and stomatal movements. Plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity is tightly regulated in response to a multitude of abiotic and biotic environmental cues. Recent studies have shed light on the multi-level regulation of H+-ATPase, extending beyond its proton transport activity and recognizing the importance of its abundance at the plasma membrane, achieved by a balance of endocytosis and exocytosis in response to environmental factors. This review provides an overview of the cell biological regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase by balancing its exocytosis and endocytosis. As key factors in regulation of the abundance of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase at the plasma membrane, the membrane trafficking proteins PATROL1 and SYP132 have been identified. The intracellular dynamics and functions are suggested to be tightly associated with the environmental response of plant cells. Despite substantial progress in deciphering the intracellular traffic regulation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, a comprehensive molecular understanding remains elusive. Elucidating the molecular pathways linking environmental factors with the regulation of membrane trafficking is pivotal for comprehending the cell biological regulation of environmental responses in plants.

In the tribe Triticeae, systematic studies using alloplasmic lines have greatly facilitated our understanding of cytoplasmic genome inheritance, its structural and functional diversity, and interaction with nuclear genomes. Effective utilization of these valuable experimental tools produced by combining given nuclear genomes with cytoplasmic genomes from various related species has provided ample evidence supporting the presence and roles of a genetic system controlling nucleus-cytoplasm compatibility operating particularly in the lineages of allopolyploid speciation. This review focused on the current state of our knowledge of the nucleus-cytoplasm compatibility system. It also emphasized the necessity for further research toward more precise identification and understanding of its complex genetic regulatory mechanism and possible practical application in agriculture.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been extensively studied for potential clinical use. Recently, increasing attention is being paid to the relationship between p53 and BMSCs differentiation. In this study, we investigated the effects of p53 on the alveolar epithelial differentiation of BMSCs. Rat BMSCs (rBMSCs) were cultured with and without hyperoxia-damaged lung tissue to observe their differentiation process in vitro. Furthermore, p53 expression was inhibited by pifithrin-α during rBMSCs differentiation. Transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, luciferase assay, and an analysis of cell proliferation and apoptosis levels were performed to examine the changes in rBMSCs. We found that rBMSCs in vitro exhibited alveolar epithelial differentiation when co-cultured with damaged lung tissue, and cell apoptosis, cell proliferation, and p53 levels of rBMSCs were significantly altered during the differentiation process. Furthermore, when p53 was inhibited in rBMSCs by pifithrin-α (a specific p53 inhibitor), apoptosis was alleviated, cell proliferation was promoted, and the potential alveolar epithelial differentiation of rBMSCs was blocked. Our results suggest that p53 can effectively regulate alveolar epithelial differentiation of rBMSCs. These results provide the basis for developing more effective cellular clinical therapies for lung diseases in further research.
