Rice vacuolar membrane proteins changed by gibberellin (GA) were analyzed using a proteome approach. Vacuolar membrane fractions were isolated using a discontinuous sucrose/sorbitol system and 10 proteins increased in vacuolar membrane of the root, treated with GA(3) as compared with control. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase C-1 and vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) increased in root vacuolar membrane by GA(3) interacted in rice roots. It suggests that aldolase C-1 regulates the V-ATPase mediated control of cell elongation that determines root growth.
