CCC1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G216800, designated CCC1 (PvCCC1), encodes a member of the SLC12A family of cation-chloride cotransporters, with molecular functions including sodium:potassium:chloride symporter activity, potassium:chloride symporter activity, and chloride:monoatomic cation symporter activity. The gene is associated with chloride ion homeostasis, chloride transport, potassium ion membrane transport, potassium ion homeostasis, nodulation, cell division, and interaction with host. The encoded protein localises to the trans-Golgi network, endosome, Golgi complex, and membrane. CCC1 is associated with abiotic stress response and plant growth. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root volume, root morphology, abiotic plant stress response, disease tolerance, plant growth and development traits, as well as distorted segregation and impaired gametophyte function.
