What's a GeneRIF?

double knockout of NHX5 and NHX6 results in the impairment of endosome motility and protein recycling at the trans-Golgi network/early endosome, but not in the secretion of integral membrane protein
Title: NHX-type Na(+)(K(+))/H(+) antiporters are required for TGN/EE trafficking and endosomal ion homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana.
regulates the pH of endoplasmic reticulum and auxin-mediated development
Title: Na(+) ,K(+) /H(+) antiporters regulate the pH of endoplasmic reticulum and auxin-mediated development.
AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 regulate the trafficking of seed storage proteins into the vacuole; the H(+) leak pathway conducted by AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 is critical for protein transport.
Title: AtNHX5 and AtNHX6: Roles in protein transport.
Study shows that NHX5 and NHX6 are necessary for processing of the predominant seed storage proteins, and also influence the processing and activity of a vacuolar processing enzyme.

required for protein storage vacuole localization of the SNARE complex and its function in protein transport
Title: AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 Are Required for the Subcellular Localization of the SNARE Complex That Mediates the Trafficking of Seed Storage Proteins in Arabidopsis.
NHX5 and NHX6 are putative endosomal Na+ (K+)/H+ antiporters expressed throughout plant development. They are are functionally redundant and play key roles in cell proliferation and cell growth.
Title: The Arabidopsis intracellular Na+/H+ antiporters NHX5 and NHX6 are endosome associated and necessary for plant growth and development.
