• Information
  • Symbol: STAR2
  • MSU: LOC_Os05g02750
  • RAPdb: Os05g0119000
• Publication
  • A bacterial-type ABC transporter is involved in aluminum tolerance in rice, 2009, Plant Cell.
  • A zinc finger transcription factor ART1 regulates multiple genes implicated in aluminum tolerance in rice, 2009, Plant Cell.
• Genbank accession number
  • AB379845
• Key message
  • STAR1 encodes a nucleotide binding domain, while STAR2 encodes a transmembrane domain, of a bacterial-type ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter
  • These results indicate that STAR1 and STAR2 form a complex that functions as an ABC transporter, which is required for detoxification of Al in rice
  • Both STAR1 and STAR2 are expressed mainly in the roots and are specifically induced by Al exposure
  • Expression in onion epidermal cells, rice protoplasts, and yeast showed that STAR1 interacts with STAR2 to form a complex that localizes to the vesicle membranes of all root cells, except for those in the epidermal layer of the mature zone
  • Here, we report that two genes, STAR1 (for sensitive to Al rhizotoxicity1) and STAR2, are responsible for Al tolerance in rice
