PGK — Brassica napus

Summary

BnPGK (DARMORV10_A07P44580.1) on chromosome A07 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with phosphoglycerate kinase domains and annotated ADP, ATP, and metal binding, as well as protein kinase activity. This gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, glycolytic process, gluconeogenesis, and responses to light, heat, glucose, and bacterial molecules. It is linked to galactolipid and starch anabolism, lipogenesis, sucrose metabolism, thylakoid membrane organization, stomatal closure, ABA signaling, and cadmium transport and response. Associations also include drought tolerance, proline content, salt tolerance, autophagy regulation, plant growth, and pollen tube growth polarity. The protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, mitochondria, membrane, apoplast, vacuole, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to phosphoglycerate kinase activity, reduced growth with higher starch, and virus resistance.
