FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G50230S (FLS) in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) on chromosome A03 encodes a protein belonging to the IPNS-like Fe2OG_OXY domain family and exhibits flavonol synthase activity, flavanone 3-dioxygenase activity, and (S)-tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase activity, along with vitamin C and metal binding. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, coumarin, and morphine anabolism, pigmentation, nitric oxide storage, and response to molecules of fungal origin. Its product localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flavonol synthase (EC 1.14.11.9) and (S)-tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.122) activities.
