FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA09G63950S (BjFLS4) encodes a protein with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. The protein belongs to the IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase superfamily. In Indian mustard, BjFLS4 is associated with the flavonol biosynthetic process, pigmentation, coumarin and anthocyanin anabolism, nitric oxide storage, and response to molecules of fungal origin. It localises to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 1.14.20.4, EC 1.14.20.6 and EC 1.14.11.9 activities, and to a plant 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase domain.
