Identification and functional expression of ctaA, a P-type ATPase gene involved in copper trafficking in Trametes versicolor.

Abstract excerpt

Here the identification and characterization of a gene encoding a copper-trafficking enzyme, ctaA (copper-transporting ATPase), from the basidiomycete Trametes versicolor are described. This P-type copper ATPase gene has two alleles, differing primarily in the length of the second, unusually long intron, and encodes a 983 aa protein with 40 % sequence identity to yeast Ccc2p. Overexpression of ctaA in yeast grown...
