1 The nucleotide sugar transporters AtUTr1 and AtUTr3 are required for the incorporation of UDP-glucose into the endoplasmic reticulum, are essential for pollen development and are needed for embryo sac progress in Arabidopsis thaliana. Uridine Diphosphate Glucose UDP-galactose transporter 3 Arabidopsis thaliana
2 Here we show that AtUTr3 is involved in the transport of UDP-glucose and is located at the ER but also at the Golgi. Uridine Diphosphate Glucose UDP-galactose transporter 3 Arabidopsis thaliana
3 Biochemical analysis in both AtUTr1 and AtUTr3 mutants indicates that uptake of UDP-glucose into the ER is mostly driven by these two transporters. Uridine Diphosphate Glucose UDP-galactose transporter 3 Arabidopsis thaliana
4 Interestingly, the expression of AtUTr3 is induced by stimuli that trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR), a phenomenon also observed for AtUTr1, suggesting that both AtUTr1 and AtUTr3 are involved in supplying UDP-glucose into the ER lumen when misfolded proteins are accumulated. Uridine Diphosphate Glucose UDP-galactose transporter 3 Arabidopsis thaliana
