CNL — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB01G36750S (symbol CNL, also known as BjAAE11) on Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) chromosome B01 encodes a CoA ligase with propionate-CoA, 2-methylbutanoate-CoA, acetate-CoA, medium-chain fatty acid-CoA, (E)-caffeate-CoA, trans-cinnamate-CoA, and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase activities, and belongs to the ANL_N_sf and AMP-dep_synth/lig_dom families. The gene is associated with butyrate and cinnamic acid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid metabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, circadian rhythm, and response to ethylene. Its product localises to the cytosol and to chloroplasts. Related genes in other species link the family to EC 6.2.1.1, EC 6.2.1.17, and EC 6.2.1.12 activities.
