CCT — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_UNF2100 (CCT, AoCCT) encodes a Mediator complex subunit Med12 domain-containing protein that is annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. It is associated with the Mediator complex and localises to the nucleus. The gene is associated with regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, and regulation of radial pattern formation. Associations include juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, systemic acquired resistance, light-induced gene expression, and salicylic acid accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, germination, cold response, embryo patterning, and root architecture.
