Abstract
Arabidopsis thaliana grows efficiently on GABA as the sole nitrogen source, thereby providing evidence for the existence of GABA transporters in plants. Heterologous complementation of a GABA uptake‐deficient yeast mutant identified two previously known plant amino acid transporters, AAP3 and ProT2, as GABA transporters with Michaelis constants of 12.9±1.7 and 1.7±0.3 mM at pH 4, respectively. The simultaneous transport of [1‐14C]GABA and [2,3‐3H]proline by ProT2 as a function of pH, provided evidence that the zwitterionic state of GABA is an important parameter in substrate recognition. ProT2‐mediated [1‐14C]GABA transport was inhibited by proline and quaternary ammonium compounds.
