A major project of this team concerns membrane proteins involved in ion and metabolite transport in the plant plasma membrane. Proton pump-ATPases (H -ATPases)
form a proton electrochemical gradient across the membrane which
activates many secondary transporters and is involved in many
physiological functions. Our long-term aim is to understand how these
enzymes are regulated.
We also study pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) transporters
belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. More
particularly, we focus on those PDR that transport secondary metabolites
involved in biotic (pathogens) and abiotic (iron deficiency) stress
response.
Finally, we use the molecular biology tools developed in the group in the more applied project of improving the heterologous expression of pharmacological proteins in plant cells
