Low-affinity cation transporter ( OsLCT1 ) regulates cadmium transport into rice grains

Abstract: Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains poses a potential health problem, especially in Asia. Most Cd in rice grains accumulates through phloem transport, but the molecular mechanism of this transport has not been revealed. In this study, we identified a rice Cd transporter, OsLCT1, involved in Cd transport to the grains. OsLCT1-GFP was localized at the plasma membrane in plant cells, and OsLCT1 showed Cd efflux activity in yeast. In rice plants, strong OsLCT1 expression was observed in l… Show more

“…Recently, a transporter, OsLCT1, was reported to be involved in cadmium distribution in rice (Uraguchi et al, 2011). Rice low-affinity cation transporter1 (OsLCT1) showed efflux transport activity for several cations, including cadmium (but not zinc), and knockdown of OsLCT1 resulted in decreased cadmium (but not zinc) concentration in the grain (Uraguchi et al, 2011).…”

However, in contrast to OsHMA2 expression, which is highly expressed in the nodes throughout the reproductive growth, expression of OsLCT1 in the nodes was only observed at the ripening stage.…”

“…Interestingly, administration of Cd increased translocation of both Cd and Zn in lettuce shoots (Zorrig et al 2010). Low-affinity cation transporter OsLCT1 has been found to load cadmium to phloem sap (Uraguchi et al 2011). Phloem transport of non-essential metals was not accounted for in speciation model of Harris et al (2012).…”

“…BY-2 suspension cells was conducted according to the previous report (Uraguchi et al 2011). The cells transformed with pSU42 (35S-OsPT1-sGFP) or pTS100 (35S-sGFP) (Uraguchi et al 2011) were stained with 25 µM FM4-64 just before imaging analysis and the cells were observed by a laser-scanning confocal microscope (FV1000, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).…”
