ACS11 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoACS11 (BOLC102_C03P035380.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase activity, transaminase activity, pyridoxal phosphate binding, protein phosphorylated amino acid binding, redox activity, ATP binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with ethylene anabolism, fruit ripening, seed germination, pigmentation, anthocyanin anabolism, cold acclimation, response to freezing, defense response, signal transduction, and responses to nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium starvation. It has been linked to leaf length, leaf growth and development, leaf senescence, pistil morphology, anthocyanin content, seed dormancy, and plant stress response traits, as well as root cell elongation, ethylene biosynthesis, and petiole-to-leaf length ratio. The protein localizes to the cytosol, plasma membrane, plastid, mitochondria, Golgi, vacuole, cell wall, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with root growth, leaf morphology, flowering time, disease resistance, and gravitropism.
