The wheat sodium transporters TmHKT1;5‐A and TaHKT1;5‐D are encoded by genes underlying the major shoot Na+ exclusion loci Nax2 and Kna1 from Triticum monococcum (Tm) and Triticum aestivum (Ta), respectively. In contrast to HKT2 transporters that have been shown to exhibit high affinity K+‐dependent Na+ transport, HKT1 proteins have, with one exception, only been shown to catalyze low affinity Na+ transport and no K+ transport. Here, using heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes we uncover a novel property of HKT1 proteins, that both TmHKT1;5‐A and TaHKT1;5‐D encode dual (high and low) affinity Na+‐transporters with the high‐affinity component being abolished when external K+ is in excess of external Na+. Three‐dimensional structural modeling suggested that, compared to Na+, K+ is bound more tightly in the selectivity filter region by means of additional van der Waals forces, which is likely to explain the K+ block at the molecular level. The low‐affinity component for Na+ transport of TmHKT1;5‐A had a lower Km than that of TaHKT1;5‐D and was less sensitive to external K+. We propose that these properties contribute towards the improvements in shoot Na+‐exclusion and crop plant salt tolerance following the introgression of TmHKT1;5‐A into diverse wheat backgrounds.

小麦 HKT1;5 的高亲和力 Na+ 转运被 K+ 阻断



小麦钠转运蛋白 TmHKT1;5-A 和 TaHKT1;5-D 分别由来自小麦(Tm) 和普通小麦(Ta) 的主要芽 Na +排除位点Nax2Kna1的基因编码。与已显示出高亲和力 K +依赖性 Na +转运的 HKT2 转运蛋白相比,HKT1 蛋白(除一个例外)仅显示出催化低亲和力 Na +转运而无 K +转运。在这里,利用非洲爪蟾卵母细胞中的异源表达,我们发现了 HKT1 蛋白的一个新特性,即 TmHKT1;5-A 和 TaHKT1;5-D 编码双(高和低)亲和力 Na +转运蛋白,其中高亲和力成分是当外部K +超过外部Na +时取消。三维结构模型表明,与Na +相比,K +通过额外的范德华力在选择性过滤区域中结合得更紧密,这可能在分子水平上解释K +嵌段。 TmHKT1;5-A 的 Na +转运低亲和力组分的 K m低于 TaHKT1;5-D 的 K m ,并且对外部 K +不太敏感。我们认为,在 TmHKT1;5-A 渗入不同的小麦背景后,这些特性有助于改善芽 Na +排除和作物植物的耐盐性。
