Seems to act as a high-affinity sodium transporter, which mediates increased sodium uptake in roots under potassium deficiency and contributes to sodium accumulation and salt toxicity (PubMed:11489190, PubMed:11959905, PubMed:12182709, PubMed:12795699). Involved in nutritional sodium uptake and distribution in potassium-starved roots to allow plant growth (By similarity). May also act as a potassium transporter (PubMed:11489190, PubMed:11959905, PubMed:12182709, PubMed:12795699). Functions as a sodium-potassium cotransporter (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q0D9S3] Publication Abstract from PubMed The high-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs), selectively permeable to either Na(+) alone or Na(+)/K(+), play pivotal roles in maintaining plant Na(+)/K(+) homeostasis. Although their involvement in salt tolerance is widely reported, the molecular underpinnings of Oryza sativa HKTs remain elusive. In this study, we elucidate the structures of OsHKT1;1 and OsHKT2;1, representing two distinct classes of rice HKTs. The dimeric assembled OsHKTs can be structurally divided into four domains. At the dimer interface, a half-helix or a loop in the third domain is coordinated by the C-terminal region of the opposite subunit. Additionally, we present the structures of OsHKT1;5 salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive variants, a key quantitative trait locus associated with salt tolerance. The salt-tolerant variant of OsHKT1;5 exhibits enhanced Na(+) transport capability and displays a more flexible conformation. These findings shed light on the molecular basis of rice HKTs and provide insights into their role in salt tolerance.
