Abstract

Heavy-metal-associated (HMA) isoprenylated plant proteins (HIPPs) only exist in vascular plants. They contain a metal binding domain (HMA) and a C-terminal isoprenylation motif. They play important roles in responses to biotic/abiotic stresses, heavy-metal homeostasis, and detoxification. This entry includes AtHIP09, which may act as a metallochaperone [ 1 ].
