ANS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB05G50770S (BjANS, also known as TT18, BjLDOX, or LDOX) on chromosome B05 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom domain, and has oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and the other dehydrogenated, as well as leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, coumarin, and triglyceride anabolism, as well as pigmentation, leaf formation, seed development, vacuole organization, cell cycle transition, and response to fungal molecules. It localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Associations include seed color, leaf color, seed size, anthocyanin content, photosynthetic rate, and UV light sensitivity. Related genes in other species link the family to seed coat color, flavonoid content, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, and photoprotection under high light stress.
