%X Protein secretion and vacuole formation are vital processes in plant cells, playing crucial roles in various aspects of plant development, growth, and stress responses. Multiple regulators have been uncovered to be involved in these processes. In animal cells, the transcription factor TFEB has been extensively studied and its role in lysosomal biogenesis is well understood. However, the transcription factors governing protein secretion and vacuole formation in plants remain largely unexplored. In recent years, an increasing number of bioinformatics databases and tools have been developed, facilitating computational prediction and analysis of the function of genes or proteins in specific cellular processes. Leveraging these resources, this chapter aims to provide practical guidance on how to effectively utilize these existing databases and tools for the analysis of key transcription factors involved in regulating protein secretion and vacuole formation in plants, with a particular focus on Arabidopsis and other higher plants. The findings from this analysis can serve as a valuable resource for future experimental investigations and the development of targeted strategies to manipulate protein secretion and vacuole formation in plants.
