1.A.35.5.2
High affinity root Mg2+ transporter, Mrs2/MGT1/MRS2-10.  Plants have at least  11 Mrs2 homologues, and they can form homo as well as heterooligomeric channels (Schmitz et al. 2013). Expression in an E. coli triple mutant, corA mgtA yhiD, which required high (>10 mM) Mg2+ for growth, allowed growth on >1 mM Mg2+ and resulted in Al3+ sensitivity (Ishijima et al. . 2015). It therefore appears that MRS2-10 catalyzes Mg2+ and Al 3+ uptake.
