PGIP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G060720 (PGIP) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a PGIP family member, characterised by leucine-rich repeat domains and annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, signaling receptor activity, protein kinase activities, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with defense response, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, hormone-mediated signalling, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, regulation of stomatal complex development and morphogenesis, specification of floral organ number, plant ovule and embryo sac development, skotomorphogenesis, heat acclimation, seedling development, cell differentiation, regulation of cell growth, microtubule bundling, and activation of salinity and thirst responses. The encoded protein localises to the membrane, plasmalemma, apoplast, endosome, and macromolecular complexes. Studies of related genes in other species link the PGIP family to defence and brassinosteroid signalling.
