Sodium transporters in plants. Diverse genes and physiological functions.
Soil salinity represents an increasing threat to agricultural production. High sodium (Na) concentrations in soils are toxic to most higher plants. More than 40% of irrigated lands worldwide show increased salt levels. Several studies have shown that under saline conditions, Na influx into root cells occurs via Na permeable transporters (Amtmann et al., 1997; Roberts and Tester, 1997; Tyerman e...
متن کاملPhysiological functions of multidrug transporters in yeast
Overexpression of drug extrusion pumps belonging to the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) super family of proteins is one of the most common mechanisms of multidrug resistance in various organisms. Both pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast cells also become resistant to a variety of drugs by overexpressing genes encoding ABC drug efflux pumps. Recent evidences reveal that not only the well-characterize...
متن کاملFunctions of ABC transporters in plants.
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins are ubiquitously found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and generally serve as membrane-intrinsic primary active pumps. In higher plants, ABC proteins constitute a large family, grouped phylogenetically into eight clusters, subfamilies ABCA-ABCI (ABCH is not found in plants). ABC transporters shuttle substrates as diverse as lipids, phytohormones, carboxylates, ...
متن کاملMultiple Actin Isotypes in Plants: Diverse Genes for Diverse Roles?
Plant actins are encoded by a gene family. Despite the crucial significance of the actin cytoskeleton for plant structure and function, the importance of individual actin isotypes and their specific roles in various plant tissues or even single cells is rather poorly understood. This review summarizes our current knowledge about the plant actin gene family including its evolution, gene and prot...
