TPP — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdTPP (BRADI_4G31930V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 4 encodes a member of the peptidase S26 family with signal peptidase activity (EC 3.4.21.89) and serine-type endopeptidase activity. The gene is associated with thylakoid membrane organization and localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and plasmalemma. It is associated with leaf senescence, mycose metabolism and biosynthesis, and signal peptide processing. Annotated associations also link BdTPP to sucrose homeostasis and flowering date. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including grain number, grain weight, harvest index, plant height, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, cold tolerance, nitrate sensitivity, inflorescence branching, wheat stripe rust disease response, and root morphology.
