Abstract

The importance of zinc in organisms is clearly established, and mechanisms involved in zinc acquisition by plants have recently received increased interest. In this report, the identification, characterization and location of GmZIP1, the first soybean member of the ZIP family of metal transporters, are described. GmZIP1 was found to possess eight putative transmembrane domains together with a histidine-rich extra-membrane loop. By functional complementation of zrt1zrt2 yeast cells no longer able to take up zinc, GmZIP1 was found to be highly selective for zinc, with an estimated K(m) value of 13.8 microm. Cadmium was the only other metal tested able to inhibit zinc uptake in yeast. An antibody raised against GmZIP1 specifically localized the protein to the peribacteroid membrane, an endosymbiotic membrane in nodules resulting from the interaction of the plant with its microsymbiont. The specific expression of GmZIP1 in nodules was confirmed by Northern blot, with no expression in roots, stems, or leaves of nodulated soybean plants. Antibodies to GmZIP1 inhibited zinc uptake by symbiosomes, indicating that at least some of the zinc uptake observed in isolated symbiosomes could be attributed to GmZIP1. The orientation of the protein in the membrane and its possible role in the symbiosis are discussed.

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.
