BJUB03G37870S — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB03G37870S (VP1, BjABI3) on Indian mustard chromosome B03 encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain protein of the LEC2-like family. The product possesses sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription coactivator activity, promoter-specific chromatin binding, and protein heterodimerization activity, and is associated with phytochrome binding, Hsp90 binding, and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. This gene is linked to positive regulation of seed maturation, cellular response to gibberellin stimulus, regulation of triglyceride catabolic process, and hexokinase-dependent signaling. Associations include seed width and length, seedling vigor, vegetative vigor, petal length and morphology, gibberellic acid content, water stress response, photoperiod sensitivity, seed set percent, cadmium concentration, phosphorus uptake, aphid response, temperature stress response, aluminum response, and male sterility. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed development, desiccation tolerance, seed longevity, abscisic acid responsiveness, and oil accumulation.
