液泡膜内在蛋白（TIPs）是植物液泡识别的重要标志。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了最近试图编译一个详细的拟南芥TIP表达的地图，以了解液泡的身份和分布在这个模式物种。我们讨论了这些发现的普遍适用性。我们还审查了TIPs的细胞内靶向问题，并提出了与该蛋白质家族的细胞生物学相关的关键问题。
TIPs (tonoplast intrinsic proteins) have been traditionally used as markers for vacuolar identity in a variety of plant species and tissues. In the present article, we review recent attempts to compile a detailed map of TIP expression in Arabidopsis, in order to understand vacuolar identity and distribution in this model species. We discuss the general applicability of these findings. We also review the issue of the intracellular targeting of TIPs and propose key emerging questions relative to the cell biology of this protein family.
