Structure–Function Analysis Reveals Amino Acid Residues of Arabidopsis Phosphate Transporter AtPHT1;1 Crucial for Its Activity

Phosphorus (P), an essential plant macronutrient, is acquired in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi) by transporters located at the plasma membrane of root cells. To decipher the Pi transport mechanism, Arabidopsis thaliana Pi transporter 1;1 (AtPHT1;1), the most predominantly H+-coupled Pi co-tran...
