EF1BB — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvEF1BB (BVRB_5G110420) on sugar beet chromosome 5 encodes a translation elongation factor 1 beta/delta subunit family protein with translation elongation factor activity, protein kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with plant-type cell wall assembly, regulation of cellulose anabolism, lignin metabolism, organogenesis, auxin anabolism, and translation elongation. It is linked to innate immunity, defence response to bacteria, detection of peptidoglycan and fungal molecules, cellular response to chitin, cell surface PRR signalling, and positive regulation of the hypersensitive response. Associations include bacterial blight disease resistance, disease tolerance, salinity tolerance, stomatal closure, and resistance to fungal pathogens. The protein localises to the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 complex, cytosol, plasmalemma, vacuole, apoplast, plastid, mitochondria, plasmodesma, and stress granules.
