CIN4 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdCIN4 (BRADI_2G22187V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 2 encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme activity, histone H2B deubiquitinase activity, metallopeptidase activity, and calmodulin binding. It is associated with DNA damage tolerance, proteasomal protein catabolic processes, protein polyubiquitination, endosomal transport, COP9 signalosome assembly, and regulation of photomorphogenesis. The gene is linked to abscisic acid concentration, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, boron and zinc sensitivity, UV light sensitivity, wheat powdery mildew disease response, phosphorus uptake, root mass density, lateral root length, chloroplast development, and drought tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to photomorphogenesis, circadian clock entrainment, cell cycle progression, and defense responses.
