Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G435818
• Gene Symbol: ZmVPP5
• Gene Name: vacuole H+-PPase 5
• Genome: B73_RefGen_v3
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Maize ZmVPP5 is a truncated Vacuole H+-PPase that confers hypersensitivity to salt stress.
• The overexpression of ZmVPP5 in yeast cells caused a hypersensitivity to salt stress. Transgenic maize lines with overexpressed ZmVPP5 also exhibited the salt hypersensitivity phenotype.
• Although ZmVPP5 shares high sequence similarity with ZmVPP1, ZmVPP5 lacks the complete structure of the conserved proton transport and the inorganic pyrophosphatase-related domain.
• Overall, this study suggests that ZmVPP5 might act as a VPP antagonist and participate in the cellular response to salt stress. Our study of ZmVPP5 has expanded the understanding of the origin and functions of truncated forms of plant VPPs.
