The uptake of 1-(malonylamino)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (MACC), the conjugated form of the ethylene precursor, into vacuoles isolated from Catharanthus roseus cells has been studied by silicone layer floatation filtering. The transport across the tonoplast of MACC is stimulated fourfold by 5 millimolar MgATP, has a K(m) of about 2 millimolar, an optimum pH around 7, and an optimum temperature at 30 degrees C. Several effectors known to inhibit ATPase (N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and to collapse the transtonoplastic H(+) electrochemical gradient (carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, gramicidin, and benzylamine) all reduced MACC uptake. Abolishing the membrane potential with SCN(-) and valinomycin also greatly inhibited MACC transport. Our data demonstrate that MACC accumulates in the vacuole against a concentration gradient by means of a proton motive force generated by a tonoplastic ATPase. The involvement of a protein carrier is suggested by the strong inhibition of uptake by compounds known to block SH-, OH-, and NH(2)- groups. MACC uptake is antagonized competitively by malonyl-d-tryptophan, indicating that the carrier also accepts malonyl-d-amino acids. Neither the moities of these compounds taken separately [1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, malonate, d-tryptophan or d-phenylalanine] nor malate act as inhibitors of MACC transport. The absence of inhibition of malate uptake by MACC suggests that MACC and malate are taken up by two different carriers. We propose that the carrier identified here plays an important physiological role in withdrawing from the cytosol MACC and malonyl-d-amino acids generated under stress conditions.
