Structural insights into the Oryza sativa cation transporters HKTs in salt tolerance

The high-affinity potassium transporters(HKTs),selectively permeable to either Na+alone or Na+/K+,play pivotal roles in maintaining plant Na+/K+homeostasis.Although their involvement in salt tolerance is widely reported,the molec-ular underpinnings of Oryza sativa HKTs remain elusive.In this study,we elucidate the structures of OsHKT1;1 and OsHKT2;1,representing two distinct classes of rice HKTs.The dimeric as-sembled OsHKTs can be structurally divided into four domains.At the dimer interface,a half-helix or a loop in the third domain is coordinated by the C-terminal region of the opposite subunit.Additionally,we present the structures of OsHKT1;5 salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive var-iants,a key quantitative trait locus associated with salt tolerance.The salt-tolerant variant of OsHKT1;5 exhibits enhanced Na+transport capability and displays a more flexible con-formation.These findings shed light on the mo-lecular basis of rice HKTs and provide insights into their role in salt tolerance.
