Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Pteris vittata

Functional Descriptions:

• Heterologous expression in yeast demonstrates that PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 was able to facilitate As(III) diffusion. Transgenic Arabidopsis showed that PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 increases arsenic accumulation and induces arsenic sensitivity.
• A tissue location study shows that PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 transcripts are mainly expressed in roots. Site-directed mutation in yeast further proved that the cysteine at the LEPvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 position of PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 Ar/R domain is a functional site.
• We describe the isolation and characterization of a new P. vittata aquaporin gene, PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1, which may mediate As(III) uptake.
• PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 is a new represented tonoplast intrinsic protein (TIP) aquaporin from P. vittata and the function and location results imply that PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1|PvTIP4|1|PvAQP1 may be involved in As(III) uptake.
