Abstract excerpt
Metal transport from the cytosol to the vacuole is thought to be an important component of ion tolerance and of a plant's potential for use in phytoremediation. The Arabidopsis antiporter CAX2 (calcium exchanger 2) may be a key mediator of this process. CAX2 expression in yeast suppressed both Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) growth defects. A peptide-specific antibody to the antiporter reacted with a 39-kD protein from plant...
