AMPD — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvAMPD (BVRB_6G154780) on sugar beet chromosome 6 encodes a protein with an A/AMP_deam_AS domain and a Metal_Hydrolase domain, and is annotated with AMP deaminase activity, histidine kinase binding, and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with AMP and IMP metabolism, IMP salvage, poly(A)+ mRNA export from the nucleus, protein destabilization, ER-to-Golgi transport, ethylene signaling, pollen germination and tube growth, cell division, root and embryo development, and signal transduction. It localizes to the mitochondrial outer membrane, nuclear envelope, spindle, ER membrane, nucleolus, and plant-type cell wall. Associations include seed longevity, cell cycle, ethylene sensitivity, oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, and plant growth and development traits. Related genes in other species link the family to cytokinesis, seed development, genomic imprinting, virus resistance, and centromere disassembly.
