In the present study, the identification and characterization of new members of vacuolar iron transporter-like proteins (VTL) was performed in wheat. Phylogenetic distribution demonstrated distinct clustering of the identified VTL genes from the previously known VIT genes. Our analysis identifies multiple...
A blast search in NCBI (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) indicated that the deduced amino acid sequence of the GmVSR cloned in the present study was almost identical (99%) to that of the VSR 1-like protein fromGlycine max(accession no. XP_003536576). GmVSR shares a high am...

such as Ste2p, or undergoing specialized processing (precursor of carboxypeptidase S; pCps1p), are sorted into these vesicles, while protein constituents of the limiting vacuolar membrane, such as the Vph1p subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase, or iron transporter Fth1p, are excluded from them...
the general amino acid transporter GAP1 (67)), and our analysis indicates that we also enriched for plasma membrane proteins targeted to the vacuole for proteolysis. This result is in agreement with the GPF fusion analysis showing fluorescent signals at both the vacuolar lumen and the plasma memb...
As an iron transporter, it could be expected that deletion of VIT would lead to a change in the amount and distribution of iron within the cell. Using XFM we examined iron distribution in ΔVIT parasites shortly after invasion. Although the signal was heterogeneous, we generally saw less iron...
For example, members of the PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER 1 (PHT1) family, localized in the plasma membranes, are responsible for the external Pi acquisition and/or Pi translocation between cells or tissues6, whereas the members of the PHT2, PHT3 and PHT4 families belong to the organelle Pi ...
A protein kinase, interacting with two calcineurin B-like proteins, regulates K+ transporter AKT1 in Arabidopsis. Cell 2006; 125:1347-1360. 12 Cheong YH, Pandey GK, Grant JJ, et al. Two calcineurin B- like calcium sensors, interacting with protein kinase CIPK23, regulate leaf transpiration ...
As IGF-I signaling facilitates the growth, migration, and invasiveness of many tumors (32, 33, 34), we propose that HRG-1 is a micro-nutrient (heme) transporter that may enhance tumor growth and cancer progression. When HRG-1 is suppressed, V-ATPase activity is decreased; endosomal acidity...
Transgenic plants are described which are engineered to overexpress vacuolar H+-PPase. Plants such as tobacco and petunia transformed with A. Thaliana AVP-1 are sh
