• Information
  • Symbol: TOM2
  • MSU: LOC_Os11g04030
  • RAPdb: Os11g0135000
• Publication
  • The phytosiderophore efflux transporter TOM2 is involved in metal transport in rice., 2015, J Biol Chem.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK121911
• Key message
  • In onion epidermal and rice root cells, the TOM2-GFP fusion protein localized to the cell membrane, indicating that the TOM2 protein is a transporter for phytosiderophore efflux to the cell exterior
  • Transgenic rice in which TOM2 expression was repressed by RNA interference showed growth defects compared to non-transformants and TOM3-repressed rice
  • Our results indicate that TOM2 is involved in the internal transport of DMA, which is required for normal plant growth
  • Strong TOM2 expression was observed in developing tissues during seed maturation and germination, while TOM3 expression was weak during seed maturation
  • The phytosiderophore efflux transporter TOM2 is involved in metal transport in rice.
  • In the present study, we analyzed TOM2 and TOM3, rice homologs of transporter of mugineic acid family phytosiderophores 1 (TOM1), a crucial efflux transporter directly involved in phytosiderophore secretion into the soil
• Connection
