PIN1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB06G12870S (symbol PIN1, preferred name BjPIN1AT) encodes a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase of the PPIase_Pin1 family, possessing cis-trans proline isomerase and protein-binding activities. In Indian mustard, this gene is associated with auxin transport, polar auxin transport, regulation of protein localization, cell cycle modulation, geotropism, embryogenesis, and regulation of flower development. The encoded protein localizes to the plasmodesma, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, cytosol, and nucleus. BjPIN1AT is linked to prolyl cis/trans isomerization, root gravitropism, flowering time, and protein folding. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to strigolactone signaling and flowering time traits.
