CUM1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G14510S (BjCUM1) encodes a protein with TIF_eIF_4E_CS, TIF_eIF4e-like, and TIF_eIF_4E domains, and is annotated with RNA m7G cap binding, translation initiation factor activity, linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activity, and salicylic acid binding. The gene is associated with biological processes including lipid oxidation, jasmonic acid anabolism, response to herbivore, response to virus, photoperiodism and flowering, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, regulation of defense response, antiviral response, response to fungi, regulation of translation, response to bacteria, circadian rhythm, response to other organism, response to jasmonic acid, response to wounding, and response to thirst. It is linked to traits including aphid response, stem senescence, biotic plant stress, UV-B light sensitivity, jasmonic acid sensitivity, insect damage response, root hair length, jasmonic acid content, abiotic plant stress response, stomatal complex closure time, leaf senescence, root thickness, disease tolerance, plant growth and development, salt tolerance, and root morphology. Localization evidence connects the product to P bodies, stress granules, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, chloroplast envelope, nucleolus, chloroplast stroma, plastid, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the eIF4E family to potyvirus resistance, translation
