摘要


Heavy metal pumps (P1B-ATPases) are important for cellular heavy metal homeostasis. AtHMA4, an Arabidopsis thaliana heavy metal pump of importance for plant Zn(2+) nutrition, has an extended C-terminal domain containing 13 cysteine pairs and a terminal stretch of 11 histidines. Using a novel size-exclusion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry approach we report that the C-terminal domain of AtHMA4 is a high affinity Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) chelator with capacity to bind 10 Zn(2+) ions per C terminus. When AtHMA4 is expressed in a Zn(2+)-sensitive zrc1 cot1 yeast strain, sequential removal of the histidine stretch and the cysteine pairs confers a gradual increase in Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) tolerance and lowered Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) content of transformed yeast cells. We conclude that the C-terminal domain of AtHMA4 serves a dual role as Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) chelator (sensor) and as a regulator of the efficiency of Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) export. The identification of a post-translational handle on Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) transport efficiency opens new perspectives for regulation of Zn(2+) nutrition and tolerance in eukaryotes.
