A cDNA encoding a sulfate transporter was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The isolated clone contained an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 658 amino acids, exhibiting the highest similarity (62%) with the sequence of the low-affinity sulfate transporter of a tropical legume Stylosanthes hamata. Northern blot analysis indicated the constitutive accumulation of a 2.6 kb length transcript in leaves and roots of seedlings. We also propose that A. thaliana contains three sulfate transporter genes which are expressed as 3.0, 2.7 and 2.6 kb length transcripts, respectively, in an organ-specific manner.

D000076988	Sulfate Transporters	Highly conserved families of transmembrane anion transporters that occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In humans, they are expressed by epithelial cells in a variety of tissues and participate in diverse physiologic functions such as cell motility and regulating the composition and acidity of body fluids. Some Slc13 family proteins function as sodium ion-coupled co-transporters of sulfate and other anions.
