Effect of OsMTP8.1 expression on tolerance to Mn, Zn, and Co and accumulation of Mn in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (A) Yeast complementation assay. The yeast mutants Δpmr1 or Δzrc1cot1 carrying the pYES2 empty vector or pYES2-OsMTP8.1 were used. A 5 µl aliquot (OD600=2.0) of serial dilutions (10-fold) was spotted onto SC-U/Gal medium with or without (control) supplementation with 5mM MnCl2, 0.25mM ZnSO4, or 0.4mM CoCl2. Plates were incubated for 48h at 30 °C in the dark. (B) Mn accumulation by the S. cerevisiae strain BY4741. BY4741 was transformed by the pYES2 empty vector or pYES2-OsMTP8.1 was cultured in liquid SC-U/Gal medium supplemented with 5mM MnCl2 at an initial OD600=0.1 for 24h. Data represent means ±SD (n=3). Significant differences between the empty vector and OsMTP8.1 calculated using Student’s t-test are indicated by ** (P < 0.01).
