This project investigates the AtABCB14 protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on its role in transporting malate into guard cells to regulate stomatal movement. The research aims to characterize its kinetics, ATP-dependence, and structural features to understand the unique import activity of plant ABC transporters.
The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana is predicted to encode 129 ABC proteins, which are involved in many physiological processes such as transport of metabolites, toxic substance, and regulation of stomatal movement (Martinoia et al., 2001;
Rea, 2007).
The ABC protein AtABCB14 is implicated in the regulation of stomatal movement by transporting malate into guard cells (Lee et al. 2008).
This is only the second plant ABC transporter shown to act as an importer and no animal counterpart has been sho…
