CPT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvCPT (BVRB_5G125120) encodes a prenyltransferase with IPPS, zFPS, dimethylallylcistransferase, rubber cis-polyprenylcistransferase, and dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase activities, belonging to the UPP_synth-like family. In sugar beet, this gene is associated with polyprenol and dolichyl monophosphate anabolism, plastid membrane organization, and response to cold. The encoded protein localizes to chloroplast stroma, ER, mitochondria, and cytosol. BvCPT has been connected to root yield and sugar content, as well as reduced long-chain polyisoprenoids and medium-chain-length polyprenol biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to dolichol accumulation, photosynthetic efficiency, polyprenol and diterpenoid biosynthesis, chloroplast membrane dynamics, and cold stress response.
