Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS5A02G377000
• Gene Symbol: TaCT1-5D
• Gene Name: copper transporter1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• 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.
