Source Description
TAIREncodes a member of the Squamosa Binding Protein family of transcriptional regulators. SPL7 is expressed highly in roots and appears to play a role in copper homeostasis. Mutants are hypersensitive to copper deficient conditions and display a retarded growth phenotype. SPL7 binds to the promoter of the copper responsive miRNAs miR398b and miR389c.
UniProtTranscription factor that participates in reprogramming global gene expression during copper deficiency in order to improve the metal uptake and prioritize its distribution to copper proteins of major importance (Probable). Binds directly to 5'-GTAC-3' motifs in the microRNA (miRNA) promoter of the stress-responsive miRNAs miR398b and miR398c to activate their transcription. During copper deficiency, activates the copper transporters COPT1 and COPT2, and the copper chaperone CCH, directly or indirectly via miRNAs. Required for the expression of the miRNAs miR397, miR408 and miR857 (PubMed:19122104). Acts coordinately with HY5 to regulate miR408 and its target genes in response to changes in light and copper conditions (PubMed:25516599). Activates miR857 and its target genes in response to low copper conditions (PubMed:26511915). Involved in cadmium stress response by regulating miR397a, miR398b, miR398c and miR857 (PubMed:27352843). Required for iron homeostasis during copper deficiency (PubMed:22374396). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19122104, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22374396, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25516599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26511915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27352843}.

  1. SPL7 activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in copper homeostasis.
    [PMID: 19122104]
  2. Cu uptake into roots of Cu-deficient plants is dependent on FRO4/FRO5 and SPL7.
    [PMID: 22374396]
  3. COPT6 expression is regulated by copper availability that, in part, is controlled by a master regulator of copper homeostasis, SPL7
    [PMID: 22865877]
  4. SPL7 directly regulates miR408 expression.
    [PMID: 23289771]
  5. Data suggest that iron superoxide dismutase gene FSD1 and SPL7 transcriptional regulator SPL7 may associate withi copper homeostasis.
    [PMID: 23455955]
  6. Data indicate that cadmium (Cd) elicits SPL7-dependent copper (Cu) deficiency responses by altering expression of COPT1, COPT2, COPT6, CSD1, CSD2, miRNA398 b/c precursors and FSD1.
    [PMID: 23835944]
  7. The data presented here provide evidence for SPL7 and KIN17 protein interaction as a point of convergence in response to both Copper deficiency and oxidative stress.
    [PMID: 24335506]
  8. Cytological and biochemical approaches confirmed an operative transmembrane domain (TMD) and uncovered a dual localisation of SPL7 between the nucleus and an endomembrane system, most likely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
    [PMID: 25207797]
  9. The expression of SPL7 and its targets COPT2 and FSD1 was differently regulated in various light signalling mutants. Under copper deficiency, the expression of both targets decreased drastically in continuous darkness.
    [PMID: 26516126]
  10. CITF1 and SPL7 regulate Cu uptake and delivery to anthers, thereby influencing fertility, and highlight the relationship between Cu homeostasis, CITF1, SPL7, and the jasmonic acid metabolic pathway.
    [PMID: 29114014]
  11. In a series of grafting experiments using spl7 mutant and wild-type (WT) plants, expression of Cu-responsive microRNAs and the resulting suppression of CSD1 and CSD2 mRNAs were observed in leaves only when the aerial part was from WT plants, in which a low level of SPL7 was transcribed also in the vascular tissues.
