Comments
Comment typeDescription
Disruption PhenotypeNo visible phenotype under normal growth conditions, but plants show increased sensitivity to mevastatin, an inhibitor of cytosolic isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis. Chloroplasts isolated from mutant plants lack sodium-dependent pyruvate uptake activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21866161}.
FunctionSodium-coupled metabolite transporter that plays a crucial role in pyruvate transport across the chloroplast envelope. Is required for sodium-coupled pyruvate import into plastids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21866161}.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAC32250.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAO41972.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the bile acid:sodium symporter (BASS) (TC 2.A.28) family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMembrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Plastid, chloroplast envelope {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in developing leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21866161}.
