ABC transporters involved in the transport of plant secondary metabolites

Abstract: Plants produce a large number of secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, terpenoids, polyphenols, quinones and many further compounds having combined structures of those groups. Physiological roles of those metabolites for plants are still under investigation, but they play, at least in part, important functions as protectants for plant bodies against herbivores and pathogens, as well as from physical stresses like ultraviolet light and heat. In order to accomplish these functions, biosyntheses and accumulat… Show more

“…For example, cluster 27 (septum) contained genes encoding transporters of mineral nutrients, organic macromolecules, and the hormone auxin. There was a particular abundance of ATP-binding cassette transporters in cluster 28 (pericarp), a class of transporter associated with the transport of secondary metabolites (Yazaki, 2006). Their presence in the pericarp, therefore, may be related to secondary metabolite production in this tissue (see cluster 30 above).…”

“…A homologous gene encoding a protein of the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) subfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters was found to be induced in grapevine by P. viticola. These ABC transporters mediate the translocation of a diverse array of compounds across biological membranes, including toxins, drugs, glutathione conjugates, peptides and secondary metabolites (Yazaki 2006). There is also increasing evidence for the involvement of ABC transporters in defence.…”

“…The intracellular trafficking system is responsible for the transport of most macromolecules within the cell and may be essential for the transport of secondary metabolites between cell compartments and the delivery of newly synthesized secondary metabolites to their final destinations and/or secretion out of the cell (Grotewold, 2004;Yazaki, 2006). In addition, the intracellular vesicle trafficking network of plants seems to be linked to many signal transduction pathways and may be involved in the general response to environmental stresses (e.g.…”
