Description
Chiara Pastacaldi, Dario Gaudioso and Stefania Tegli review MATE transporters, membrane proteins that pump toxic and foreign compounds out of cells. These proteins occur in all living things, from microbes to plants. In plants they aid growth and move secondary metabolites, while in microbes they drive drug resistance by clearing drugs from the cell.
Far less is known about what these transporters do between plants and the microbes that live on or infect them. That dialogue at the cell surface shapes infection and defence. The authors argue that learning the transporters' role in plant and pathogen contact could guide new, greener ways to control plant disease.
