C3H21 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnC3H21 (C3H21) on chromosome A05 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a protein with a RING-type zinc finger and multiple WD40 repeats, and is annotated with ubiquitin ligase activity, transcription corepressor binding, histone binding, and structural molecule activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including cold acclimation, response to UV-A and red/far-red light, petal morphogenesis, histogenesis, chromatin modelling, DNA replication and recombination, proteasome assembly, and intracellular protein transport. It is linked to the nucleus, cytoplasm, Golgi membrane, mitochondria, and chromatin silencing complex. Associations with agronomically important traits include biomass yield, seed weight, plant height, drought tolerance, and low temperature stress response. Related genes in other species further connect this gene family to ubiquitin ligase activity.
