This book is devoted to the fascinating superfamily of plant
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and their variety of
transported substrates. It highlights their exciting biological
functions, covering aspects ranging from cellular detoxification,
through development, to symbiosis and defense. Moreover, it also
includes a number of chapters that center on ABC transporters from
non-Arabidopsis species. ABC proteins are ubiquitous,
membrane-intrinsic transporters that catalyze the primary
(ATP-dependent) movement of their substrates through biological
membranes. Initially identified as an essential aspect of a
vacuolar detoxification process, genetic work in the last decade
has revealed an unexpectedly diverse variety of ABC transporter
substrates, which include not only xenobiotic conjugates, but also
heavy metals, lipids, terpenoids, lignols, alkaloids and organic
acids. The discovery that members of the ABCB and ABCG family are
involved in the movement of phytohormones has further sparked their
exploration and provided a new understanding of the whole family.
Accordingly, the trafficking, regulation and structure-function of
ABCB-type auxin transporters are especially emphasized in this
book.
