N2 - The plant plasma membrane proton pump (H(+)-ATPase) is stimulated by potassium, but it has remained unclear whether potassium is actually transported by the pump or whether it serves other roles. We now show that K(+) is bound to the proton pump at a site involving Asp(617) in the cytoplasmic phosphorylation domain, from where it is unlikely to be transported. Binding of K(+) to this site can induce dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated E(1)P reaction cycle intermediate by a mechanism involving Glu(184) in the conserved TGES motif of the pump actuator domain. Our data identify K(+) as an intrinsic uncoupler of the proton pump and suggest a mechanism for control of the H(+)/ATP coupling ratio. K(+)-induced dephosphorylation of E(1)P may serve regulatory purposes and play a role in negative regulation of the transmembrane electrochemical gradient under cellular conditions where E(1)P is accumulating.
