PGIP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G060710 (PGIP) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a PGIP domain and leucine-rich repeat domains. The gene product is associated with enzyme inhibitor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, signaling receptor activity, protein heterodimerization activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein homodimerization activity, and ATP binding. It is linked to specification of floral organ number, microtubule bundling, skotomorphogenesis, regulation of cell growth, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, heat acclimation, seedling development, cell differentiation, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, signal transduction, and defense response. The protein localises to the apoplast, plasma membrane, endosome, and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid signaling and receptor kinase functions.
