ABCG Transporters and Their Role in the Biotic Stress Response

Plant ABC Transporters

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 22))

Abstract

Pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) transporters belong to subfamily G of the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) family. Plant species contain approximately 15–20 PDR genes, the majority of which are still uncharacterized. However, several PDR genes have been studied in more detail and it appears that most of them are involved in the plant response to biotic as well as abiotic stress. In this chapter we focus on those PDR genes that have shown to play a role in the plant resistance to various pathogens. Characterization of PDR knockout or silenced mutants clearly showed the major implication of those genes in the plant defense. However the molecular function of the encoded transporters is still elusive because their substrates have been identified only in a few cases. Another question that needs to be resolved is whether plant PDRs are able, like some fungal or mammalian ABC transporters, to translocate several structurally unrelated substrates.
