Abstract

Pyruvate transporter is BASS2 Many of the plastid-localized metabolic pathways of plants, including the C4 photosynthetic pathway that operates in many crop plants, depend critically on the import of pyruvate. The pyruvate transporter has proved elusive, but has now been identified as the bile acid:sodium symporter family protein 2 (BASS2). The BASS2 protein is found in the chloroplast envelope membrane, and is highly abundant in C4 plants. Orthologues of BASS2 are present in all the genomes of land plants characterized so far, thus indicating the widespread importance of sodium-coupled pyruvate import in plastids.
