Abstract

Amino acid transporters (AATs) are essential membrane proteins that transfer amino acids across cells. They are necessary for plant growth and development. The lysine histidine transporter (LHT) gene family in maize (Zea mays) has not yet been characterized. According to sequence composition and phylogenetic placement, this study found 15 LHT genes in the maize genome. The ZmLHT genes are scattered across the plasma membrane. The study also analyzed the evolutionary relationships, gene structures, conserved motifs, 3D protein structure, a transmembrane domain, and gene expression of the 15 LHT genes in maize. Comprehensive analyses of ZmLHT gene expression profiles revealed distinct expression patterns in maize LHT genes in various tissues. This study's extensive data will serve as a foundation for future ZmLHT gene family research. This study might make easier to understand how LHT genes work in maize and other crops.

玉米赖氨酸组氨酸转运蛋白(LHT)基因家族的全基因组鉴定和功能分析

氨基酸转运蛋白（AATs）是跨细胞传递氨基酸的重要膜蛋白。它们是植物生长发育所必需的。玉米赖氨酸组氨酸转运蛋白（LHT）基因家族尚未被鉴定。根据序列组成和系统发育位置，本研究在玉米基因组中发现了15个LHT基因。ZmLHT基因散布在质膜上。该研究还分析了玉米中15个LHT基因的进化关系、基因结构、保守基序、3D蛋白结构、跨膜结构域和基因表达。ZmLHT基因表达谱的综合分析揭示了玉米LHT基因在不同组织中的不同表达模式。这项研究的大量数据将为未来的ZmLHT基因家族研究奠定基础。这项研究可能更容易理解LHT基因在玉米和其他作物中的作用。

期刊介绍： Genetics Research is a key forum for original research on all aspects of human and animal genetics, reporting key findings on genomes, genes, mutations and molecular interactions, extending out to developmental, evolutionary, and population genetics as well as ethical, legal and social aspects. Our aim is to lead to a better understanding of genetic processes in health and disease. The journal focuses on the use of new technologies, such as next generation sequencing together with bioinformatics analysis, to produce increasingly detailed views of how genes function in tissues and how these genes perform, individually or collectively, in normal development and disease aetiology. The journal publishes original work, review articles, short papers, computational studies, and novel methods and techniques in research covering humans and well-established genetic organisms. Key subject areas include medical genetics, genomics, human evolutionary and population genetics, bioinformatics, genetics of complex traits, molecular and developmental genetics, Evo-Devo, quantitative and statistical genetics, behavioural genetics and environmental genetics. The breadth and quality of research make the journal an invaluable resource for medical geneticists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians and researchers involved in genetic basis of diseases, evolutionary and developmental studies.
