Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsGGT2
  • Gene Name: γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • γ-Glutamyl-transpeptidase CsGGT2 functions as light-activated theanine hydrolase in tea plant.
  • Demonstrated that the expression patterns of CsGGT2 (γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase), participated in theanine synthesis in vitro in our previous research, are significantly different in the aboveground and underground tissues of tea plants and regulated by light.
  • Light up-regulated the expression of CsHY5, directly binding to the promoter of CsGGT2 and acting as an activator of CsGGT2, with a negative correlation with theanine accumulation.
  • Therefore, light mediates the degradation of theanine in different tissues by regulating the expression of the theanine hydrolase CsGGT2 in tea plants, and these results provide new insights into the degradation of theanine mediated by light in tea plants.
