Mutation in porcine Zip4-like zinc transporter is associated with pancreatic zinc concentration and apparent zinc absorption.
The aim of the present study was to analyse the sequence variability of the porcine Zip4-like Zn transporter gene and the association of identified sequence variants with average daily gain, apparent Zn absorption, plasma Zn concentration and Zn concentration in the liver and pancreas. For the purpose of the study, two different sample sets were used. Set one, which was used for sequencing and ...
متن کاملZinc-induced inactivation of the yeast ZRT1 zinc transporter occurs through endocytosis and vacuolar degradation.
The ZRT1 gene encodes the transporter responsible for high affinity zinc uptake in yeast. ZRT1 is transcribed in zinc-limited cells and its transcription is repressed in zinc-replete cells. In this report, we describe a second, post-translational mechanism that regulates ZRT1 activity. In zinc-limited cells, ZRT1 is a stable, N-glycosylated plasma membrane protein. Exposure to high levels of ex...
متن کاملZnT7, a novel mammalian zinc transporter, accumulates zinc in the Golgi apparatus.
ZnT7, a novel member of the zinc transporter (ZnT) family, was identified by searching the expressed sequence tag (EST) databases with the amino acid sequence of ZnT1. Like the other ZnT proteins, the protein (387 amino acids) predicted from this gene contains six transmembrane domains and a histidine-rich loop between transmembrane domains IV and V. We show that Znt7 is widely transcribed in m...
متن کاملThe ZupT transporter plays an important role in zinc homeostasis and contributes to Salmonella enterica virulence.
Zinc is an essential metal for cellular homeostasis and function in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. To acquire this essential nutrient, bacteria employ transporters characterized by different affinity for the metal. Several studies have investigated the role of the high affinity transporter ZnuABC in the bacterial response to zinc shortage, showing that this transporter has a key role in adapt...
متن کاملOsZIP4, a novel zinc-regulated zinc transporter in rice.
Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for the normal growth of plants but information is scarce on the mechanisms whereby Zn is transported in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants. Four distinct genes, OsZIP4, OsZIP5, OsZIP6, and OsZIP7 that exhibit sequence similarity to the rice ferrous ion transporter, OsIRT1, were isolated. Microarray and northern blot analysis revealed that OsZIP4 was highly expresse...
