PR1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C07F14470 (PR1) on asparagus chromosome 7 encodes a protein with a Bet_v_I/MLP domain, a member of the START-like superfamily, and exhibits nuclease, hydrolase, abscisic acid binding, protein phosphatase inhibitor, and signaling receptor activities. The gene is associated with defense response, response to wounding, ABA signaling, and flavonoid anabolism. Its product localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to nuclease activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
