Abstract excerpt
Magnesium (Mg(2+)) plays critical role in many physiological processes. The mechanism of Mg(2+) transport has been well documented in bacteria; however, less is known about Mg(2+) transporters in eukaryotes. The AtMRS2 family, which consists of 10 Arabidopsis genes, belongs to a eukaryotic subset of the CorA superfamily proteins. Proteins in this superfamily have been identified by a universally conserved...
