ACBP — Brassica napus

Summary

BnACBP (DARMORV10_A08P10380.1) on chromosome A08 of oilseed rape encodes an acyl-CoA-binding protein, a member of the acyl-CoA-binding superfamily. The protein exhibits fatty-acyl-CoA binding, phosphatidylcholine binding, protein kinase activity, and ATP binding, among other molecular functions. It is associated with fatty acid metabolism, lipogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, and starch anabolism, as well as responses to freezing, hypoxia, and bacterial molecules. The gene is linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, seed maturation, protein content, and stomatal closure. It has been connected to jasmonic acid biosynthesis, acyl-CoA accumulation, seed development, innate immunity, chitin signaling, and fungal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed oil content, freezing tolerance, pathogen resistance, and heavy metal resistance.
