ACBP — Brassica napus

Summary

BnACBP (DARMORV10_C05P40370.1) on chromosome C05 of oilseed rape encodes an acyl-CoA-binding protein, a member of the acyl-CoA-binding superfamily. The gene product exhibits fatty-acyl-CoA binding, phosphatidylcholine binding, and protein kinase activity, and is associated with fatty acid metabolism, lipogenesis, and pyruvate metabolism. It has been linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, and leaf chlorosis, as well as seed maturation, protein content, and stomatal complex closure time. The gene is also associated with responses to freezing, hypoxia, and chitin, and with processes including embryogenesis, innate immunity, and pathogen-induced cell death. Related genes in other species link the family to seed oil content, freezing tolerance, and pathogen resistance.
