GLRX — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvGLRX (BVRB_004200) on sugar beet chromosome 0112.scaffold00370 encodes a glutaredoxin, a small redox protein belonging to the glutaredoxin eukaryotic/viral subfamily with glutathione disulfide oxidoreductase activity, 2Fe-2S cluster binding, and protein binding capabilities. This gene is associated with cellular response to oxidative stress, signal transduction, cell differentiation, and homeostasis. The product localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the cytosol, plastid, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, plant-type vacuole, secretory vesicle, and plasmalemma. BvGLRX is associated with salt tolerance traits and embryo development. Related genes in other species link the glutaredoxin family to protein glutathionylation, while broader family associations include nitrogen content, water use efficiency, drought tolerance, root length, and quantum yield.
