The ZIP family of metal transporters

Open access

Abstract

Members of the ZIP gene family, a novel metal transporter family first identified in plants, are capable of transporting a variety of cations, including cadmium, iron, manganese and zinc. Information on where in the plant each of the ZIP transporters functions and how each is controlled in response to nutrient availability may allow the manipulation of plant mineral status with an eye to (1) creating food crops with enhanced mineral content, and (2) developing crops that bioaccumulate or exclude toxic metals.

  • In A. halleri, several transporter genes, such as ZIP family members viz. ZIP3, ZIP4, and ZIP6 are responsible for the influx of metal ions from the rhizosphere to roots and are highly expressed due to high copy numbers.

    “In A. halleri, several transporter genes, such as ZIP family members viz. ZIP3, ZIP4, and ZIP6 are responsible for the influx of metal ions from the rhizosphere to roots and are highly expressed due to high copy numbers (Guerinot, 2000).”

    From Plant hyperaccumulators: a state-of-the-art review on mechanism of heavy metal transport and sequestration (2025) · cites this paper as Guerinot, 2000

    Section 5.2 (page unavailable) identifies Arabidopsis ZIP3 as a zinc transporter, but says ZIP4 did not confer zinc uptake in yeast and may be chloroplast-targeted. Sections 5.3 and 5.5 discuss transporter expression in other plants and under zinc limitation. The copy does not establish that ZIP3, ZIP4, and ZIP6 mediate uptake from the rhizosphere in A. halleri or that high gene-copy numbers cause their high expression. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
