ATP phosphohydrolase (P-type, Zn2+-exporting)
A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. The enzyme, present in prokaryotes and photosynthetic eukaryotes, exports Zn2+ and the related cations Cd2+ and Pb2+.
overexpression of AtHMA4 improves the root growth in the presence of toxic concentrations of Zn,Cd and Co. A null mutant exhibits a lower translocation of Zn and Cd from the roots to shoot. The AtHMA4 overexpressing lines display an increase in the zinc and cadmium shoot content. AtHMA4 plays a role in metal loading in the xylem
AtHMA1 contributes to the detoxification of excess Zn(II) in Arabidopsis thaliana by reducing the Zn content of Arabidopsis thaliana plastids, regulation, overview
the N-terminal domain of HMA2 is essential for function in planta while the C-terminal domain, although not essential for function, may contain a signal important for the subcellular localization of the protein

expression pattern of HMA1 invarious tissues of wild-type plants, HMA1 is expressed preferentially in shoots, including rosette leaves, cauline leaves, ?owers and stems, but little expression is observed in the roots, overview
the enzyme is involved in Zn2+ and Cd2+ transport. Expression of HMA4 in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum var. Xanthi) enhances Zn2+ translocation to the shoots only at 0.01 mM but not at 0.0005, 0.1 and 0.2 mM Zn2+. HMA4-expressing plants also show a decrease in cadmium uptake when exposed to 0.00025 and 0.005 mM Cd2+
HMA1 contains poly-His motifs that are commonly found in Zn(II)-binding proteins, but lacks some amino acids that are typical for this class of transporters
expression of mutant derivatives, with and without a C-terminal GFP tag, from the HMA2 promoter in transgenic hma2,hma4, Zn-deficient plants. The deletion mutant lacking the C-terminal 244 amino acids rescues most of the hma2,hma4 Zn-deficiency phenotypes with the exception of embryo or seed development. Root-to-shoot Cd translocation is fully rescued. The GFP-tagged derivative is partially mislocalized in the root pericycle cells in which it is expressed. Deletion derivatives lacking the C-terminal 121 and 21 amino acids rescue all phenotypes and localize normally. N-terminal domain mutants localize normally but fail to complement the hma2,hma4 phenotypes, overview
sensitivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to high concentrations of Zn2+ is altered by the expression of AtHMA1 lacking its N-terminal chloroplast-targeting signal. Construction of HMA knockout plants showing as more pronounced sensitivity in the presence of high Zn2+ concentrations, and increased accumulation of Zn in the chloroplast of T-DNA insertional mutants of AtHMA1 compared to the wild-type, overview. The Zn2+-sensitive phenotype of AtHMA1 knock-out plants is complemented by the expression of AtHMA1 under the control of its own promoter. No organ-specific differences in the Zn content of hma1-1 mutants
purification of the HMA2 N-terminal metal binding domain is performed using Strep-tag affinity chromatography, membranes from HMA2 expressing yeasts are prepared
Arabidopsis thaliana HMA2 and truncated forms of the protein are prepared using the bacterial expression vector pPRIBA1 and the yeast expression vector pYES2/CT
expression of wild-type HMA2 and mutant derivatives in transgenic hma2,hma4, Zn-deficient plants from the HMA2 promoter, quantitative realtime PCR expression analysis
HMA1 DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, phylogenetic analysis, quantitative realtime RT-PCR expression analysis, expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
identification of two independent mutant alleles for both genes, HMA2 and HMA4. The hma2-2 mutant is indistinguishable from the wild-type, whereas the hma4-1 and the double mutant hma2-2,hma4-1 accumulate approximately 2fold and 4fold less Zn, respectively, than the wild type.
the yeast expression vector pYES2/CT carrying Arabidopsis thaliana HMA2 containing a C-terminal Strep-tag is prepared, the HMA2 N-terminal metal binding domain is cloned into the pPRIBA1 vector for expression in Escherichia coli BL21DE3pLysS cells
