APS1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G42000S (APS1) on chromosome A03 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with acid phosphatase activity, ATP hydrolase activity, nutrient reservoir activity, and protein binding, belonging to the acid phosphatase B-like and haloacid dehalogenase-like superfamilies. The gene is associated with sulfur metabolism, glutathione anabolism, response to misfolded protein, meristem growth and structural organization, root and shoot development, leaf and inflorescence morphogenesis, lateral root formation, male and female gamete generation, seedling development, and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. It localizes to the proteasome, plasma membrane, and nucleus. APS1 is linked to traits including zinc and herbicide sensitivity, disease tolerance, meristem identity, root and leaf development, organ identity, and inflorescence morphology. Related genes in other species are associated with meristem maintenance, leaf size, gametogenesis, proteasome assembly, herbicide tolerance, and disease resistance.
