Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins is a newly characterized transporter family in plants. However, knowledge of this family in systematic classification, molecular evolution, and expression patterns in plants is limited. In this study, MATE gene sequence, structure, and names as well as MATE protein size and subcellular localization in rice were analyzed using bioinformatics tools, chromosome localizations, and gene clusters. The function of MATE proteins was further elucidated on a basis of phylogenetic relationships. Using available transcriptomic data, the expression pattern and function of MATE were different in the selected organs and developments stages of rice. In addition, the relative abundance of OsMATE1 transcripts increased 3 h after copper treatment and so it was identified as a candidate gene for Cu tolerance in rice. This research provided basic data for further studies on MATE genes in rice and theoretical information about the biological function of MATE proteins.
