Arabidopsis thaliana natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 3 (AtNRAMP3) is
involved in the transport of cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn). Here, we present …

In plants, there are several families of metal transporters that play an important role in metal
uptake and sequestration, thus protecting the plant from stress due to heavy metals. Crop …

SaNramp6 in Sedum alfredii encodes a membrane-localized metal transporter. We isolated
the SaNramp6h allele from the hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) of S. alfredii. When this …

Metal ions are essential elements for all living organisms. However, metals can be toxic
when present in excess. In plants, metal homeostasis is partly achieved through the function …

The plant natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (Nramp) family plays an
important role in tolerance to heavy metal stress. However, few Nramps have been …

NRAMP (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein) homologues are evolutionarily
conserved bivalent metal transporters. In Arabidopsis, AtNRAMP3 and AtNRAMP4 play a …

Abstract The Natural Resistance Associated Macrophage Protein (Nramp) represents a
transporter family for metal ions in all organisms. Here, we functionally characterized a …

Each essential transition metal plays a specific role in metabolic processes and has to be
selectively transported. Living organisms need to discriminate between essential and non …

Plants need metal transporters to fulfill many essential functions ranging from metal
absorption to metal sequestration and storage. In some cases, plants also have to deal with …

Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) genes encode proteins with
low substrate specificity, important for maintaining metal cross homeostasis in the cell. The …
