GST1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB02G54750S (GST1) on Indian mustard chromosome B02 encodes a glutathione S-transferase of the Zeta class, possessing maleylacetoacetate isomerase activity, glutathione transferase activity, and glutathione binding. The gene is associated with L-phenylalanine breakdown, glutathione metabolism, detoxification, defense response, metabolic burst, toxin breakdown, and response to herbicide. Its product localizes to the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and macromolecular complexes. Related genes in other species link the Zeta GST family to tyrosine catabolism and herbicide detoxification. GST1 is also connected to amino acid catabolism and metabolism pathways.
