Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone involved in a number of physiological responses including both local and systemic resistance of plants to pathogens. In Arabidopsis, SA is glucosylated to form either SA 2‐O‐β‐d‐glucose (SAG) or SA glucose ester (SGE). In this study, we show that SAG accumulates in the vacuole of Arabidopsis, while the majority of SGE was located outside the vacuole. The uptake of SAG by vacuolar membrane‐enriched vesicles isolated from Arabidopsis was stimulated by the addition of MgATP and was inhibited by both vanadate (ABC transporter inhibitor) and bafilomycin A1 (vacuolar H+‐ATPase inhibitor), suggesting that SAG uptake involves both an ABC transporter and H+‐antiporter. Despite its absence in the vacuole, we observed the MgATP‐dependent uptake of SGE by Arabidopsis vacuolar membrane‐enriched vesicles. SGE uptake was not inhibited by vanadate but was inhibited by bafilomycin A1 and gramicidin D providing evidence that uptake was dependent on an H+‐antiporter. The uptake of both SAG and SGE was also inhibited by quercetin and verapamil (two known inhibitors of multidrug efflux pumps) and salicin and arbutin. MgATP‐dependent SAG and SGE uptake exhibited Michaelis–Menten‐type saturation kinetics. The vacuolar enriched‐membrane vesicles had a 46‐fold greater affinity and a 10‐fold greater transport activity with SGE than with SAG. We propose that in Arabidopsis, SAG is transported into the vacuole to serve as a long‐term storage form of SA while SGE, although also transported into the vacuole, is easily hydrolyzed to release the active hormone which can then be remobilized to other cellular locations.
