Abstract Magnesium (Mg2+) is the most prevalent divalent intracellular cation. As co-factor in
many enzymatic reactions, Mg2+ is essential for protein synthesis, energy production, and …

Magnesium (Mg) is an essential nutrient for a wide array of fundamental physiological and
biochemical processes in plants. It largely involves chlorophyll synthesis, production …

TRPM7 is a polypeptide with intrinsic ion channel and protein kinase domains whose
targeted deletion causes cells to experience growth arrest within 24 hr and eventually die …

The MRS2/MGT gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana belongs to the superfamily of CorA-
MRS2-ALR-type membrane proteins. Proteins of this type are characterized by a GMN …

Considering the biological abundance and importance of Mg2+, there is a surprising lack of
information regarding the proteins that transport Mg2+, the mechanisms by which they do so …

Autocatalytic activity of some group II introns has been demonstrated in vitro, but helper
functions such as the yeast MRS2 protein are essential for splicing in vivo. In our search for …

In bacteria, magnesium uptake is mainly mediated by the well-characterized CorA type of
membrane proteins. In recent years, functional homologues have been characterized in the …

Group II introns are large, natural catalytic RNAs or ribozymes that were discovered in
organelles of certain protists, fungi, algae, and plants and more recently also in prokaryotic …
