Sulfate permeasesphylogenetic diversity of sulfate transport.

چکیده
Sulfate uptake, the first step of sulfate assimilation in all organisms, is a highly endoergic, ATP requiring process. It is under tight control at the transcriptional level and is additionally modulated by posttranslational modifications, which are not yet fully characterized. Sulfate anion is taken up into the cell by specific transporters, named sulfate permeases, located in the cell membrane. Bacterial sulfate permeases differ significantly from the eukaryotic transporters in their evolutionary origins, structure and subunit composition. This review focuses on the diversity and regulation of sulfate permeases in various groups of organisms.

Diversity of sulfur isotope fractionations by sulfate-reducing prokaryotes.
Batch culture experiments were performed with 32 different sulfate-reducing prokaryotes to explore the diversity in sulfur isotope fractionation during dissimilatory sulfate reduction by pure cultures. The selected strains reflect the phylogenetic and physiologic diversity of presently known sulfate reducers and cover a broad range of natural marine and freshwater habitats. Experimental conditi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Relationships and Functional Diversity of Plant Sulfate Transporters
Sulfate is an essential nutrient cycled in nature. Ion transporters that specifically facilitate the transport of sulfate across the membranes are found ubiquitously in living organisms. The phylogenetic analysis of known sulfate transporters and their homologous proteins from eukaryotic organisms indicate two evolutionarily distinct groups of sulfate transport systems. One major group named Tr...
متن کاملSulfate transport in cultured tobacco cells.
Sulfate transport by tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Xanthi) cells cultured on either l-cysteine or sulfate as a sole sulfur source was measured. The transport rate on either sulfur source was low during pre-exponential growth, increased during exponential growth, and was maximal in late exponential cells. The initial increase in transport rate was correlated with a decline in the intracellu...
متن کاملAssimilatory sulfur metabolism in marine microorganisms: characteristics and regulation of sulfate transport in Pseudomonas halodurans and Alteromonas luteo-violaceus.
Sulfate transport capacity was not regulated by cysteine, methionine, or glutathione in Pseudomonas halodurans, but growth on sulfate or thiosulfate suppressed transport. Subsequent sulfur starvation of cultures grown on all sulfur sources except glutathione stimulated uptake. Only methionine failed to regulate sulfate transport in Alteromonas luteo-violaceus, and sulfur starvation of all cultu...
متن کاملActive Transport of Choline Sulfate by Barley Roots.
Choline sulfate is a major product of sulfate metabolism in plants (9, 13). This sulfate ester accounts for up to one-third of the radioactivity in the soluble organic compounds fornmed after uptake of radliosulfate by plant roots. The analogous choline phosphate occurs in higher plants and is involved in phosphate transport (8). No similar role for choline sulfate as a carrier for sulfate coul...
