Plants take up large amounts of K+ from the soil
solution and distribute it to the cells of all organs, where it
fulfills important physiological functions. Transport of K+
from the soil solution to its final destination is mediated by channels
and transporters. To better understand K+ movements in
plants, we intended to characterize the function of the large
KT-HAK-KUP family of transporters in rice (Oryza sativa
cv Nipponbare). By searching in databases and cDNA cloning, we have
identified 17 genes (OsHAK1-17) encoding
transporters of this family and obtained evidence of the existence of
other two genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the encoded transporters
reveals a great diversity among them, and three distant transporters, OsHAK1, OsHAK7, and OsHAK10, were expressed in yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and bacterial mutants to
determine their functions. The three transporters mediate
K+ influxes or effluxes, depending on the conditions of the
experiment. A comparative kinetic analysis of HAK-mediated
K+ influx in yeast and in roots of K+-starved
rice seedlings demonstrated the involvement of HAK transporters in root
K+ uptake. We discuss that all HAK transporters may mediate
K+ transport, but probably not only in the plasma membrane.
Transient expression of the OsHAK10-green fluorescent protein
fusion protein in living onion epidermal cells targeted this
protein to the tonoplast.
