The plant hormone auxin must be transported throughout plants in a cell-to-cell manner to affect its various physiological functions. ABCB transporters are critical for this polar auxin distribution, but the regulatory mechanisms controlling their function is not fully understood. The auxin transport activity of ABCB1 was suggested to be regulated by a physical interaction with FKBP42/Twisted...

The analysis of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana using cDNA-microarrays and RT-PCR showed that AtOSA1 (Arabidopsis thaliana Oxidative Stress related Abc1 like protein) transcript levels are influenced by Cd²⁺ treatment. The comparison of protein sequences revealed that AtOSA1 belongs to the family of Abc1 proteins. Up to now, Abc1-like proteins have been identified in...
