GSL-OH — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGSL-OH (BOLC102_C03P011050.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a DIOX_N and IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase domain and is annotated with 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, 3-butenylglucosinolate 2-hydroxylase activity, and several other dioxygenase and binding activities. The gene is associated with glucosinolate biosynthesis, particularly 2-hydroxybut-3-enyl glucosinolate accumulation, and has been linked to insect resistance. It is also associated with responses to iron(III), defense against oomycetes and fungal molecules, and the biosynthesis of coumarins, ethylene, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, vacuole, plasmodesma, and stress granules. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, cytokinin content, and salt tolerance traits.
