OMA1 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvOMA1 (BVRB_3G050330) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a metalloendopeptidase with protease activity, belonging to the Mito/Outer_Membr_Metalloprot and Peptidase M48 domain families. The gene product is localised to mitochondria and is associated with homologous recombination, meiosis, anther development, cellular response to heat, response to oxidative stress, and osmotic response. BvOMA1 has been connected to cytoplasmic male sterility and decreased tolerance to multiple stressors. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to heat stress tolerance, OXPHOS system function, and root growth, while sequence similarity associations also connect the family to high temperature stress response and root thickness.
