Members of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family have been identified in all kingdoms of life. They have been divided into three subgroups, namely Zn-CDF, Fe/Zn-CDF, and Mn-CDF, based on their putative specificity to transported metal ions. The plant metal tolerance protein 6 (MTP6) proteins fall into the Fe/Zn-CDF subgroup; however, their function in iron/zinc transport has not yet been confirmed. Here, we characterized the MTP6 protein from cucumber, Cucumis sativus. When expressed in ...[more]
