PI3K — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C06F6320, designated AoPI3K on asparagus chromosome 6, encodes a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase of the Vps34/class III type, possessing protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding. The gene is associated with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate biosynthesis, macroautophagy, pexophagy, TOR signaling, and phosphoinositide-mediated signaling. It has been linked to ethylene biosynthesis, leaf senescence, pollen germination, root hair growth, proline accumulation, and responses to salt and heat stress. Localisation evidence links the product to the class III PI3K complex, endosome and Golgi membranes, the TOR complex, and the peroxisome-associated PAS. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plant growth and development, stomatal closure, disease resistance, and abnormal pollen development.
