AXR6 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdAXR6 (BRADI_2G35820V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 2 encodes a cullin family scaffold protein with ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold activity, NEDD8 transferase activity, auxin receptor activity, and auxin binding. It is associated with protein neddylation, regulation of protein ubiquitination, and SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. The gene is linked to response to organophosphorus, regulation of ethylene biosynthetic process, regulation of gibberellic acid mediated signalling, regulation of post-embryonic root development, and activation of cutin anabolism. Associations extend to traits such as seed shattering, fruit ripening trait, photoperiod sensitivity trait, bacterial blight disease resistance, Cercospora leaf spot response, and molybdenum, iron, and sulfur content. Related genes in other species are linked to auxin resistance, UV-B tolerance, and fertility.
