The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family in plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters are a family of cation antiporters occurring in most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. This family constitutes one of the largest transporter families in plants, with, for example, more than 50 MATE genes in the Arabidopsis genome. Moreover, MATE transporters are involved in a wide variety of physiological functions throughout plant development, transporting a broad range of substrates such as organic acids, plant hormones and secondary metabolites. This review categorizes plant MATE transporters according to their physiological roles and summarizes their tissue specificity, membrane localization, and transport substrates. We also review the molecular evolutionary development of plant MATE transporters.

REVIEW: PART OF A HIGHLIGHT SECTION ON PLANT–SOIL INTERACTIONS AT LOW PH How a microbial drug transporter became essential for crop cultivation on acid soils: aluminium tolerance conferred by the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family
†Background Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a major agricultural constraint for crop cultivation on acid soils, which comprise a large portion of the world’s arable land. One of the most widely accepted mechanisms of Al tolerance in plants is based on Al-activated organic acid release into the rhizosphere, with organic acids forming stable, non-toxic complexes with Al. This mechanism has recently be...

Multidrug transporters form a large class of membrane proteins present in the cells of most organisms. These proteins bind to a variety of potentially cytotoxic compounds and remove them from the cell in an ATPor protondependent process (Zhelenova et al., 2000). Traditionally, multidrug transporters have been divided into four superfamilies: the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily, the major...

متن کاملStructures of multidrug and toxic compound extrusion transporters and their mechanistic implications
Multidrug resistance poses grand challenges to the effective treatment of infectious diseases and cancers. Integral membrane proteins from the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family contribute to multidrug resistance by exporting a wide variety of therapeutic drugs across cell membranes. MATE proteins are conserved from bacteria to humans and can be categorized into the NorM, DinF...
