The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters mediate the coupled exchange of organic substrates and monovalent cations have been recently implicated in various plant biological activities. In this work, we isolated a dominant mutant from an Arabidopsis activation-tagging mutant pool. This mutant exhibits pleiotropic phenotype including early flowering, dwarf and bushy architecture, minified lateral organs and early leaf senescence, and is therefore designated early leaf senescence 1-Dominaint (els1-D). Genotyping assays showed that els1-D is a gain-of-function mutant of a novel MATE transporter gene, ELS1, which encodes a close homolog of the previously reported ADP1, BCD1 and DTX50. Further investigations revealed that the overexpression of ELS1 reduces iron content in els1-D, and the accelerated senescence of the detached els1-D leaves can be recovered by exogenous iron supply. In addition, we also found that ELS1 is an iron responsive gene. Based on these findings, we proposed that ELS1 is related to leaf senescence and iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis.
