RPS2 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

ATCG00160 (RPS2) in Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a plastid small ribosomal subunit protein (uS2C) that localizes to the chloroplast stroma and binds mRNA. This gene is associated with disease resistance, effector-triggered immunity, resistance to Pseudomonas syringae, hypersensitive cell death response, and broad-spectrum disease resistance. RPS2 is linked to membrane depolarization, cell death, systemic acquired resistance, calcium signaling, sphingolipid metabolism, hormone anabolism, prenylation, demethylation, photorespiration, protein targeting, translation, virus-induced PTGS, leaf development, DNA repair, and the mitotic cell cycle. It is also connected to homeostasis and cell cycle regulation.
