植物铜转运蛋白的结构和功能   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
铜(Cu)是植物必需的微量营养元素, 参与植物生长发育过程中的许多生理生化反应。Cu缺乏或过量都会影响植物的正常新陈代谢过程。因此, 植物需要一系列Cu转运蛋白协同作用以保持体内Cu离子的稳态平衡。通常, Cu转运蛋白可分为两类, 即吸收型Cu转运蛋白(如COPT、ZIP和YSL蛋白家族)和排出型Cu转运蛋白(如HMA蛋白家族), 主要负责Cu离子的跨膜转运及调节Cu离子的吸收和排出。然而, 最近有研究表明, 有些Cu伴侣蛋白家族可能是从Cu转运蛋白家族进化而来, 且它们在维持植物细胞Cu离子稳态平衡中也具重要功能。该文对Cu转运蛋白和Cu伴侣蛋白的表达、结构、定位及功能等研究进展进行综述。  相似文献

铁是植物所必需的微量矿质元素,在光合作用、呼吸作用等过程中发挥着重要的作用。虽然铁在地壳中含量丰富,但生物有效获取率非常低。因此,探索高等植物铁吸收及运输机制一直是植物铁营养领域研究的热点问题。近几年来,人们对于高等植物体内铁运输,尤其是细胞内铁运输又有了新的认识。本文主要对高等植物体内长距离铁运输(木质部,韧皮部)和细胞内的铁运输(液泡,叶绿体和线粒体)两方面的运输机制进行了综述,这将帮助我们进一步了解植物铁代谢机制,对我们培育高铁含量作物和提高植物抗逆性有着重要意义。  相似文献

Background: Since the identification of the genes controlling the root acquisitionof iron (Fe), the control of inter- and intracellular distributionhas become an important challenge in understanding metal homeostasis.The identification of the yellow stripe-like (YSL) transporterfamily has paved the way to decipher the mechanisms of long-distancetransport of Fe. Scope: Once in the plant, Fe will systematically react with organicligands whose identity is poorly known so far. Among potentialligands, nicotianamine has been identified as an important moleculefor the circulation and delivery of metals since it participatesin the loading of copper (Cu) and nickel in xylem and preventsFe precipitation in leaves. Nicotianamine is a precursor ofphytosiderophores, which are high-affinity Fe ligands exclusivelysynthesized by Poaceae species and excreted by roots for thechelation and acquisition of Fe. Maize YS1 is the founding memberof a family of membrane transporters called YS1-like (YSL),which functions in root Fe–phytosiderophore uptake fromthe soil. Next to this well-known Fe acquisition role, mostof the other YSL family members are likely to function in plant-widedistribution of metals since (a) they are produced in vasculartissues throughout the plant and (b) they are found in non-Poaceaespecies that do not synthesize phytosiderophores. The hypothesizedactivity as Fe–nicotianamine transporters of several YSLmembers has been demonstrated experimentally by heterologousexpression in yeast or by electrophysiology in Xenopus oocytesbut, despite numerous attempts, proof of the arabidopsis YSLsubstrate specificity is still lacking. Reverse genetics, however,has revealed a role for AtYSL members in the remobilizationof Cu and zinc from senescing leaves, in the formation of pollenand in the Fe, zinc and Cu loading of seeds. Conclusions: Preliminary data on the YSL family of transporters clearly arguesin favour of its role in the long-distance transport of metalsthrough and between vascular tissues to eventually support gametogenesisand embryo development.  相似文献

The Arabidopsis Yellow Stripe 1-Like (YSL) proteins have been identified by homology with the maize (Zea mays) Yellow Stripe 1 (YS1) transporter which is responsible for iron-phytosiderophore (PS) uptake by roots in response to iron shortage. Although dicotyledonous plants do not synthesize PS, they do synthesize the PS precursor nicotianamine, a strong metal chelator essential for maintenance of iron homeostasis and copper translocation. Furthermore, ZmYS1 and the rice (Oryza sativa) protein OsYSL2 have metal-nicotianamine transport activities in heterologous expression systems. In this work, we have characterized the function of AtYSL1 in planta. Two insertional loss-of-function ysl1 mutants of Arabidopsis were found to exhibit increased nicotianamine accumulation in shoots. More importantly, seeds of both ysl1 knockouts contained less iron and nicotianamine than wild-type seeds, even when produced by plants grown in the presence of an excess of iron. This phenotype could be reverted by expressing the wild-type AtYSL1 gene in ysl1 plants. ysl1 seeds germinated slowly, but this defect was rescued by an iron supply. AtYSL1 was expressed in the xylem parenchyma of leaves, where it was upregulated in response to iron excess, as well as in pollen and in young silique parts. This pattern is consistent with long-distance circulation of iron and nicotianamine and their delivery to the seed. Taken together, our work provides strong physiological evidence that iron and nicotianamine levels in seeds rely in part on AtYSL1 function.  相似文献

Cereal plants take up iron from the soil via a phytosiderophore-mediated chelation system. Following root absorption, iron is transported through the xylem and phloem of the plant with the help of a variety of efflux and influx transporters belonging to the Zrt Irt-like protein (ZIP) and yellow stripe-like (YSL) protein families. Iron-regulated transporter1, a member of the ZIP family, mobilises ferrous [Fe(II)] ions, while several YSL family members such as YSL2, YSL15 and YSL18 can transport both ferric [Fe(II)] and ferrous [F`III)] ions into developing grains via chelation with mugineic acid or its derivatives. The iron is accumulated largely in the outer aleurone layer and embryo of the grains, which are removed during milling, leaving behind consumable endosperm that contains a very low amount of iron. This review highlights the uptake, transport and loading mechanisms for iron in cereal grains and provides an overview of strategies adopted for developing highly iron-enriched grains.  相似文献

The two main features of plant hyper-accumulator species are the massive translocation of heavy metal ions to the aerial parts and their tolerance to such high metal concentrations. Recently, several lines of evidence have indicated a role for nicotianamine (NA) in metal homeostasis, through the chelation and transport of NA-metal complexes. The function of transport of NA-metal chelates, required for the loading and unloading of vessels, has been assigned to the Yellow Stripe 1 (YSL)-Like family of proteins. We have characterized three YSL genes in Thlaspi caerulescens in the context of hyper-accumulation. The three YSL genes are expressed at high rates compared with their Arabidopsis thaliana homologs but with distinct patterns. While TcYSL7 was highly expressed in the flowers, TcYSL5 was more highly expressed in the shoots, and the expression of TcYSL3 was equivalent in all the organs tested. In situ hybridizations have shown that TcYSL7 and TcYSL5 are expressed around the vasculature of the shoots and in the central cylinder in the roots. The exposure to heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Ni) does not affect the high and constitutive expression of the TcYSL genes. Finally, we have demonstrated by mutant yeast complementation and uptake measurements that TcYSL3 is an Fe/Ni-NA influx transporter. This work provides therefore molecular, histological and biochemical evidence supporting a role for YSL transporters in the overall scheme of NA and NA-metal, particularly NA-Ni, circulation in a metal hyper-accumulator plant.  相似文献

Graminaceous monocots, including most of the world's staple grains (i.e. rice, corn, and wheat) use a chelation strategy (Strategy II) for primary acquisition of iron from the soil. Strategy II plants secrete phytosiderophores (PS), compounds of the mugineic acid family that form stable Fe(III) chelates in soil. Uptake of iron-PS chelates, which occurs through specific transporters at the root surface, thus represents the primary route of iron entry into Strategy II plants. The gene Yellow stripe1 (Ys1) encodes the Fe(III)-PS transporter of maize (Zea mays). Here the physiological functions performed by maize YS1 were further defined by examining the pattern of Ys1 mRNA and protein accumulation and by defining YS1 transport specificity in detail. YS1 is able to translocate iron that is bound either by PS or by the related compound, nicotianamine; thus, the role of YS1 may be to transport either of these complexes. Ys1 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels responds rapidly to changes in iron availability but is not strongly affected by limitation of copper or zinc. Our data provide no support for the idea that YS1 is a transporter of zinc-PS, based on YS1 biochemical activity and Ys1 mRNA expression patterns in response to zinc deficiency. YS1 is capable of transporting copper-PS, but expression data suggest that the copper-PS uptake has limited significance in primary uptake of copper.  相似文献

Here, we describe two members of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Yellow Stripe-Like (YSL) family, AtYSL1 and AtYSL3. The YSL1 and YSL3 proteins are members of the oligopeptide transporter family and are predicted to be integral membrane proteins. YSL1 and YSL3 are similar to the maize (Zea mays) YS1 phytosiderophore transporter (ZmYS1) and the AtYSL2 iron (Fe)-nicotianamine transporter, and are predicted to transport metal-nicotianamine complexes into cells. YSL1 and YSL3 mRNAs are expressed in both root and shoot tissues, and both are regulated in response to the Fe status of the plant. Beta-glucuronidase reporter expression, driven by YSL1 and YSL3 promoters, reveals expression patterns of the genes in roots, leaves, and flowers. Expression was highest in senescing rosette leaves and cauline leaves. Whereas the single mutants ysl1 and ysl3 had no visible phenotypes, the ysl1ysl3 double mutant exhibited Fe deficiency symptoms, such as interveinal chlorosis. Leaf Fe concentrations are decreased in the double mutant, whereas manganese, zinc, and especially copper concentrations are elevated. In seeds of double-mutant plants, the concentrations of Fe, zinc, and copper are low. Mobilization of metals from leaves during senescence is impaired in the double mutant. In addition, the double mutant has reduced fertility due to defective anther and embryo development. The proposed physiological roles for YSL1 and YSL3 are in delivery of metal micronutrients to and from vascular tissues.  相似文献

Hordeum vulgare L. yellow stripe 1 (HvYS1) is a selective transporter for Fe(III)-phytosiderophores, involved in primary iron acquisition from soils in barley roots. In contrast, Zea mays yellow stripe 1 (ZmYS1) in maize possesses broad substrate specificity, despite a high homology with HvYS1. Here we revealed, by assessing the transport activity of a series of HvYS1-ZmYS1 chimeras, that the outer membrane loop between the sixth and seventh transmembrane regions is essential for substrate specificity. Circular dichroism spectra indicated that a synthetic peptide corresponding to the loop of HvYS1 forms an alpha-helix in solution, whereas that of ZmYS1 is flexible. We propose that the structural difference at this particular loop determines the substrate specificity of the HvYS1 transporter.  相似文献
