Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: TaCT1-5A
  • Gene Name: copper transporter1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Identification and characterization of a novel copper transporter gene family TaCT1 in common wheat.
  • Here, we report a novel copper transporter gene family, TaCT1, in common wheat. Three TaCT1 homoeologous genes were isolated and assigned to group 5 chromosomes.
  • TaCT1 genes exhibited higher transcript levels in leaf than in root, culm and spikelet. Excess copper down-regulated the transcript levels of TaCT1 and copper deficiency-induced TaCT1 expression. Subcellular experiments localized the TaCT1 to the Golgi apparatus.
  • By yeast expression experiments and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) analysis, TaCT1 was proven to have a function in Cu transport, and the key amino acid sites for Cu transport activity in TaCT1 protein were analysed by site-directed mutagenesis.
