IRT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD0UV1G113480, designated IRT1 in durum wheat, encodes a metal ion transmembrane transporter with activity for copper, zinc, manganese, iron, and cadmium, and also binds phosphoinositides, ubiquitin, mRNA, and proteins. It is associated with zinc accumulation, iron homeostasis, and responses to iron deficiency, cadmium, and chromium stress. The gene is linked to grain filling, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production, root and leaf development, and disease resistance. It localizes to the plasma membrane, endosomes, and the ESCRT-I complex, and is associated with processes including cellular iron homeostasis, leaf senescence, and response to hypoxia. Related genes in other species link the IRT1 family to iron acquisition, cadmium uptake, and metal homeostasis.
