FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB07G35430S (symbol FLS) on chromosome B07 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein belonging to the IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase superfamily and possesses flavonol synthase, leucocyanidin oxygenase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, along with vitamin C and metal binding. The gene is associated with pigmentation, coumarin anabolism, NO storage, anthocyanin anabolism, and response to molecule of fungal origin, and its product localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to additional dioxygenase activities (EC 1.14.20.4, 1.14.20.6, 1.14.11.9) and to the anthocyanidin synthase and flavonol synthase proteins.
