SEN4 — Asparagus officinalis
Summary
A4U43_C05F24360, designated SEN4 in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 5, encodes a xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferase (EC 2.4.1.207) belonging to the GH16/XTH family. The enzyme exhibits xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase, endoxyloglucan transferase, and O-glucosyl hydrolase activities, and binds polysaccharides, microtubules, and proteins. It localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, Golgi, secretory vesicles, and plasma membrane. SEN4 is associated with cell wall loosening, assembly, and organization, xyloglucan metabolism and catabolism, secondary cell wall biogenesis, lignin anabolism, and responses to auxin, gibberellin, brassinosteroid, salt, and far-red light. It is linked to leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, primary root development, and traits including chlorophyll content, aluminum response, brassinosteroid sensitivity, and seed growth and development.
