BRADI_2G60057V3 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdAXR6 (BRADI_2G60057V3) on chromosome 2 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a cullin family protein with ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold activity, NEDD8 transferase activity, and auxin receptor activity. This gene is associated with diverse biological processes including regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, protein neddylation, post-embryonic root development, gibberellic acid signalling, and response to organophosphorus compounds. It has been linked to numerous traits such as seed shattering, fruit ripening, photoperiod sensitivity, bacterial blight disease resistance, Cercospora leaf spot response, and molybdenum content. The encoded protein localises to multiple complexes including the CRL, CSN, and nucleotide-excision repair complexes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to auxin resistance, root development, fertility, drought stress, disease resistance, and grain morphology.
