摘要: Nicotine is a major alkaloid accumulating in the vacuole of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), but transporters involved vacuolar sequestration are not known. We here report that genes (NtMATE1 and NtMATE2) encoding multidrug toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family coordinately regulated with structural for nicotine biosynthesis root, respect to spatial expression patterns, regulation by NIC regulatory loci, induction methyl jasmonate. Subcellular fractionation, immunogold electron microscopy, green fluorescent protein fusion all suggested these localized membrane. Reduced rendered plants more sensitive application nicotine. In contrast, overexpression NtMATE1 cultured cells induced strong acidification cytoplasm after jasmonate elicitation or addition under nonelicited conditions. Expression yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) compromised accumulation exogenously supplied into cells. The results imply MATE-type proteins transport alkaloids from cytosol exchange protons alkaloid-synthesizing root
