A plant plasma membrane ATP binding cassette-type transporter is involved in antifungal terpenoid secretion.
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which are found in all species, are known mainly for their ability to confer drug resistance. To date, most of the ABC transporters characterized in plants have been localized in the vacuolar membrane and are considered to be involved in the intracellular sequestration of cytotoxins. Working on the assumption that certain ABC transporters might be involv...
متن کاملCloning and expression of a plasma membrane cystine/glutamate exchange transporter composed of two distinct proteins.
Transport system xc- found in plasma membrane of cultured mammalian cells is an exchange agency for anionic amino acids with high specificity for anionic form of cystine and glutamate. We have isolated cDNA encoding the transporter for system xc- from mouse activated macrophages by expression in Xenopus oocytes. The expression of system xc- activity in oocytes required two cDNA transcripts, and...
متن کاملSolute Transport Plant Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane proton pump (H+-ATPase) energizes solute uptake by secondary transporters. Wild-type Arabidopsis plasma membrane H+-ATPase (AHA2) and truncated H+-ATPases lacking 38, 51, 61, 66, 77, 92, 96, and 104 C-terminal amino acids were produced in yeast. All AHAS species were correctly targeted to the yeast plasma membrane and, in addition, accumulated in interna1 membranes. Removal ...
متن کاملMethylation of aquaporins in plant plasma membrane.
A thorough analysis, using MS, of aquaporins expressed in plant root PM (plasma membrane) was performed, with the objective of revealing novel post-translational regulations. Here we show that the N-terminal tail of PIP (PM intrinsic protein) aquaporins can exhibit multiple modifications and is differentially processed between members of the PIP1 and PIP2 subclasses. Thus the initiating methion...
متن کاملABCC4, a plasma membrane transporter modulating platelet aggregation
Controlling the activation of platelets is a key strategy to mitigate cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have suggested that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCC4 functions in platelet dense granules. Using plasma membrane biotinylation and super resolution microscopy, we demonstrate that ABCC4 is primarily expressed on the plasma membrane of both mouse and human platelets. Pl...
