Article Synopsis
- Flavonoids play key roles in plant development and are mostly stored in the vacuole; cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (C3G) uptake involves both an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter and an H-antiporter in Arabidopsis.
- The ABC protein AtABCC2 in yeast can transport C3G and other anthocyanins using MgATP and relies on the co-transport of glutathione (GSH), without altering C3G during transport.
- Research involved ligand docking and site-directed mutagenesis to identify critical residues for substrate binding in AtABCC2, supporting the idea that both C3G and GSH enhance each other's binding during the vacuolar
