Plant cell wall (CWI) and vacuolar invertases (VI) play important roles in carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses and sugar signaling. Addressing the regulation of invertase activities by inhibitor proteins (C/VIF, cell wall/ vacuolar inhibitor of fructosidase), we have identified two C/ VIFs from Arabidopsis thaliana. AtC/VIF1 showed specific inhibition of VI activity, whereas AtC/VIF2 inhibited both, CWI and VI. Expression analysis revealed that expression of AtC/ VIF1 was restricted to specific organs, AtCIVIF2, however, was weakly expressed throughout plant development. Promoter::GUS transformants confirmed pronounced differences of tissue/cell type-specific expression between both isoforms. Growth of an AtC/VIF1 T-DNA KO mutant was unaffected, but VI activity and hexose content were slightly increased. (C) 2004 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
