MRF1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C10F17360 (MRF1) in asparagus encodes a protein containing PDCD4, ribosomal bS22_C, initiation factor eIF4g MI and ARM-type fold domains, and is annotated with DXP-synthase activity, ethene binding, ribosome binding, calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, histidine kinase activity, histone binding, microtubule binding, chromatin binding, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, kinase activity, protein kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, identical protein binding and mRNA binding. The gene is associated with the MEP pathway, jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, response to carbon starvation, establishment of planar polarity, auxin polar transport, regulation of stomatal opening, root hair cell differentiation, phloem or xylem histogenesis, chlorophyll anabolism, and defense response by callose deposition. It is linked to traits including biomass yield, seed yield, carotenoid content, water use efficiency, leaf shattering, herbicide sensitivity, aphid response, and aluminum response. The protein localises to the ER, Golgi, plasmalemma, cytosol, cytoplasm and nucleus.
