GST1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB04G46290S (GST1) on chromosome B04 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a glutathione S-transferase zeta-class protein with maleylacetoacetate isomerase activity, glutathione binding, and glutathione transferase activity. The gene is associated with L-phenylalanine breakdown, toxin breakdown, and glutathione metabolism. It has been linked to defense response, auxin signaling, metabolic burst, and response to herbicide, as well as detoxification processes. The product localizes to the cytoplasm and macromolecular complexes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar metabolic and stress-related functions, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
