Magnesium (Mg2+) is an essential nutrient for all life forms. In fungal and plant cells, the majority of Mg2+is stored in the vacuole but mechanisms for Mg2+transport into the vacuolar store are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that members of ancient conserved domain proteins (ACDPs) fromSaccharomyces cerevisiaeandArabidopsis thalianafunction in vacuolar Mg2+sequestration that enables plant and yeast cells to cope with high levels of external Mg2+. We show that the yeast genome (as well as other fungal genomes) harbour a single ACDP homologue, referred to as MAM3, that functions specifically in vacuolar Mg2+accumulation and is essential for tolerance to high Mg. In parallel, vacuolar ACDP homologues were identified fromArabidopsisand shown to complement the yeast mutantmam3Δ. AnArabidopsismutant lacking one of the vacuolar ACDP homologues displayed hypersensitivity to high-Mg conditions and accumulated less Mg in the vacuole compared with the wild type. Taken together, our results suggest that conserved transporters mediate vacuolar Mg2+sequestration in fungal and plant cells to maintain cellular Mg2+homeostasis in response to fluctuating Mg2+levels in the environment.
