Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The AtOPTs form a distinct subfamily compared with fungal OPTs.
- Observation Two highly conserved motifs (NPG and KIPPR) were found among all OPT members.
- Observation The AtOPTs have a distinct, tissue-specific expression pattern.
- Intervention effect AtOPT4 expressed in yeast mediated uptake of KLG-[3H]L.
- Intervention effect Expression of five of the seven AtOPT proteins in yeast conferred the ability to take up tetra- and pentapeptides, as measured by growth.
- Observation This study provides new evidence for multiple peptide transporter systems in Arabidopsis.
- Mechanism Small peptides may have an important physiological role in Arabidopsis.
