VIN3 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoVIN3 (BOLC102_C03P015610.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a VIN3-like protein with a VIN3-like_C domain and an Oberon-like PHD domain, and exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, transcription corepressor binding, protein phosphorylated amino acid binding, zinc binding, and protein binding. It is associated with epigenetic regulation of gene expression, including downregulation of gene expression and epigenetic programming in the endosperm, as well as cellular response to cold, response to short-day flowering, regulation of flower development, inflorescence development, anther development, shoot morphogenesis, root meristem specification and maintenance, meiosis, and response to hypoxia. It is linked to flowering time, vernalization response, cytoplasmic male sterility, floral organ identity, nitrate uptake, leaf composition, seedling growth, root morphology, drought tolerance, and seed germination. The protein localises to the nucleus, chromatin silencing complex, nuclear speck, cytosol, cytoplasm, plant-type vacuole, Golgi complex, and mitochondria.
