CAT3 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA04G08700S (BjCAT3) on chromosome A04 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with a CAT_C domain and an AA/rel_permease1 domain, and has been annotated with basic amino acid permease activity. The gene is associated with homeostasis, cell death, and signal transduction, and its product localises to the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum. BjCAT3 is associated with root length, circadian rhythm, plant growth, drought tolerance, cell division, salt tolerance, gamma irradiation tolerance, oxidative stress response, stomatal closure, senescence, viral resistance, radiation response, leaf senescence, oxidative stress tolerance, and light response. Related genes in other species link the family to hypersensitive cell death, uranium stress response, and fluoranthene accumulation.
