We have identified a detoxifying efflux carrier
from Arabidopsis using a functional cloning strategy. A
bacterial mutant, KAM3, is deficient in multidrug resistance and does
not survive on medium containing norfloxacin. After transformation of
KAM3 cells with an Arabidopsis cDNA library,
transformants were selected for restored growth on the toxic medium.
One cDNA clone that complemented KAM3 encodes a novel protein with
twelve putative transmembrane domains and contains limited sequence
homology to a multidrug and toxin efflux carrier from bacteria. We
named this Arabidopsis protein AtDTX1 (for
Arabidopsis thaliana
Detoxification 1). A large gene family of at least 56 members encoding related proteins was
identified from the Arabidopsis genome. Further
functional analysis of AtDTX1 protein in KAM3 mutant demonstrated that
AtDTX1 serves as an efflux carrier for plant-derived alkaloids,
antibiotics, and other toxic compounds. Interestingly, AtDTX1 was also
capable of detoxifying Cd2+, a heavy metal. Further
experiments suggest that AtDTX1 is localized in the plasma membrane in
plant cells thereby mediating the efflux of plant-derived or exogenous
toxic compounds from the cytoplasm.
