Acquisition of aluminum tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by expression of the BCB or NtGDI1 gene derived from plants.

Eleven aluminum stress-induced genes derived from plants (wheat, Arabidopsis and tobacco) were introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to test if expression of these genes confers Al tolerance. Al sensitivity tests showed that expression of two genes, either an Arabidopsis gene for blue copper binding protein ( BCB), or a tobacco gene for the GDP dissociation inhibitor (NtGDI1), conferred Al tolerance. Determinations of total content and localization of Al ions in these transformants suggested that the BCB gene product functions in restricting Al uptake, while expression of the NtGDI1 gene promotes release of Al ions after uptake.[1]
