  Natural Resistance-Associated Macrophage Proteins (NRAMPs) function in plants as metal transition transporters to maintain metal homeostasis. The genome-wide identification and functional prediction of the maize NRAMPs have not yet been studied. The genome-wide analysis identified seven (ZmNRAMP1, ZmNRAMP2, ZmNRAMP3, ZmNRAMP4, ZmNRAMP5, ZmNRAMP6, ZmNRAMP7) proteins in maize with a molecular weight of 29.08 (ZmNRAMP2) to 63.20 (ZmNRAMP5) kDa. Except for ZmNRAMP1 and ZmNRAMP3, all ZmNRAMPs are essential proteins (isoelectric points greater than 7). The number of introns in ZmNRAMPs ranges from 1 to 13, which is almost consistent among the phylogenetic groups (A and B) between maize and Arabidopsis. All proteins showed multiple motifs (ranging from 6 to 10) that were consistent among the groups between maize.. View more»
