HS1 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvHS1 (BVRB_3G052520) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a Dabb/HS1/DABB1-like dimeric α/β-barrel domain protein with cyclase and lyase activities and metal-binding capacity. The gene is associated with olivetolic acid, cannabinoid, and terpenoid anabolism, as well as pollen tube adhesion, homologous recombination, defence responses to bacteria and fungi, and localisation to the cytosol, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to antimicrobial activity and stress response.
