CAT3 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB01G24450S (BjCAT3) on chromosome B01 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with a CAT_C domain and an AA/rel_permease1 domain, and is 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 and salt tolerance, cell division, gamma irradiation tolerance, oxidative stress response, stomatal closure, senescence, viral resistance, radiation response, leaf senescence, and light response. Related genes in other species connect the family to fluoranthene accumulation, uranium stress response, and hypersensitive cell death.
