摘要
Pollen tubes require a high amount of sugars to sustain high growth rate. Sucrose, the main transport form of sugars, can serve as energy supply and as signaling molecules for pollen tube growth. We report the functional characterization of CsHT11, which is a sugar transporter protein/hexose transport protein (STP/HT). CsHT11 shares high homology with the characterized cucumber hexose transporter CsHT1, a pollen-specific gene. Analysis of CsHT11 mRNA and CsHT11 promoter-reporter gene studies revealed CsHT11 specifically expressed in pollen and pollen tubes. Subcellular localization indicated that CsHT11 is a plasma membrane transporter. Heterologous expression in yeast suggests that CsHT11 is an energy-dependent hexose/H+ symporter, with a wide variety of substrate specificity, including glucose, fructose, galactose, and mannose. In vitro pollen germination of different sugars shows that the expression of CsHT11 is significantly increased with higher sucrose content, but not with higher glucose or fructose content, thereby implying that CsHT11 may be involved in sucrose signal transduction. Thus, CsHT11 might have an essential effect on pollen development and pollen tube growth in cucumber.
