Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g54790
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0755100
• Gene Symbol: OsALS1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• OsALS1 encodes a half-size ABC transporter that is a member of the TAP (transporter associated with antigen processing) sub-group.
• Here we functionally characterized a rice gene, Os03g0755100 (OsALS1), that is regulated by ART1, a C2H2-type zinc finger transcription factor.
• Expression of OsALS1 was rapidly and specifically induced by Al in the roots, but not by other metals or low pH.
• OsALS1 was localized at all cells of the roots.
• Comparison of Al accumulation patterns between wild-type and OsALS1 mutants showed that there was no difference in Al levels in the cell sap of root tips between wild-type and the mutants, but the mutants accumulated more Al in the cytosol and nucleus than the wild-type.
