BackgroundThe copper (Cu) transporter (COPT/Ctr) gene family has an important role in the maintenance of Cu homeostasis in different species. The rice COPT-type gene family consists of seven members (COPT1toCOPT7). However, only two,COPT1andCOPT5, have been characterized for their functions in Cu transport.ResultsHere we report the molecular and functional characterization of the other five members of the riceCOPTgene family (COPT2,COPT3,COPT4,COPT6, andCOPT7). All members of the riceCOPTfamily have the conserved features of knownCOPT/Ctr-type Cu transporter genes. Among the proteins encoded by riceCOPTs, COPT2, COPT3, and COPT4 physically interacted with COPT6, respectively, except for the known interaction between COPT1 and COPT5. COPT2, COPT3, or COPT4 cooperating with COPT6 mediated a high-affinity Cu uptake in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiaemutant that lacked the functions of ScCtr1 and ScCtr3 for Cu uptake. COPT7 alone could mediate a high-affinity Cu uptake in the yeast mutant. None of the seven COPTs alone or in cooperation could complement the phenotypes ofS. cerevisiaemutants that lacked the transporter genes either for iron uptake or for zinc uptake. However, theseCOPTgenes, which showed different tissue-specific expression patterns and Cu level-regulated expression patterns, were also transcriptionally influenced by deficiency of iron, manganese, or zinc.ConclusionThese results suggest that COPT2, COPT3, and COPT4 may cooperate with COPT6, respectively, and COPT7 acts alone for Cu transport in different rice tissues. The endogenous concentrations of iron, manganese, or zinc may influence Cu homeostasis by influencing the expression ofCOPTsin rice.
