Electrophysiological characterization of AtAMT1;4, an extraordinarily high affinity ammonium transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana

Show abstract
In plants high affinity transport proteins mediate the essential transport of ammonium across membranes. In Arabidopsis thaliana six of these AMmonium Transporters (AMTs) are encoded on the genome. All of these show a unique expression pattern. While most AMTs are highly expressed in the root, AtAMT1;4 expression is limited to the pollen grains and the pollen tube. Here, we addressed the transport characteristics of AtAMT1;4 in the heterologous Xenopus laevis oocytes system. Two electrode voltage clamp measurements tagged AtAMT1;4 as an electrogenic high affinity ammonium transporter. The transport was saturable and showed extraordinarily high affinity for ammonium with a Km value lower than 10 {micro}M.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
