CRP — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C04F22490 (AoCRP) encodes a sigma 54 modulation/S30EA ribosomal protein C-terminal domain-containing protein with ribosomal small subunit binding, rRNA binding, mRNA binding, protein binding, and ATP hydrolase activities. In asparagus, this gene is associated with downregulation of translational elongation, response to misfolded protein, meristem growth, male and female gamete generation, phyllome and inflorescence development, root morphogenesis, lateral root formation, leaf morphogenesis, seedling development, innate immunity, and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. It localizes to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, chloroplast thylakoid and stroma, plastid, plasmalemma, nucleus, and proteasome. The gene is linked to traits including zinc sensitivity, herbicide sensitivity, meristem tissue development, inflorescence morphology, leaf composition, root development, disease tolerance, and plant growth. Related genes in other species are linked to zinc deficiency tolerance and inflorescence architecture.
