Uncoupling of ionic currents from substrate transport in the plant ammonium transporter AtAMT1;2.
The Journal of biological chemistry - 25 Apr 2014
Neuhäuser Benjamin, Ludewig Uwe
Abstract excerpt
The ammonium flux across prokaryotic, plant, and animal membranes is regulated by structurally related ammonium transporters (AMT) and/or related Rhesus (Rh) glycoproteins. Several plant AMT homologs, such as AtAMT1;2 from Arabidopsis, elicit ionic, ammonium-dependent currents when expressed in oocytes. By contrast, functional evidence for the transport of NH3 and the lack of coupled ionic currents has been...
