IREG3 is a probable plastid transporter that may play a role in iron chelation, storage, or sequestration under conditions of limited iron availability. In the presence of exogenous antibiotics, IREG3 may allow the opportunistic entry of multiple aminoglycoside antibiotics into the chloroplast.
Gene References Into Functions
Research has identified and characterized a transporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, designated MAR1, which appears to regulate antibiotic entry into the chloroplast. PMID: 20592808
MAR1 is a plastid transporter likely involved in cellular iron homeostasis and facilitates the opportunistic entry of multiple antibiotics into the chloroplast. [MAR1] PMID: 19675150
