APK — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoAPK (BOLC102_C03P059910.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein with adenylylsulfate kinase activity, placing it in the APS kinase family that also contains a P-loop NTPase domain. The enzyme is localised to the plastid and is associated with sulfate assimilation, hydrogen sulfide, cysteine and glutathione anabolism, as well as glucosinolate biosynthesis and its regulation. BoAPK has been connected to tropism, regeneration, male gamete generation, and traits including root branching, plant growth, and aliphatic glucosinolate content. It is also linked to jasmonic acid biosynthesis, protein phosphorylation, and sulfated secondary metabolite accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to cell growth and development traits and jasmonic acid content.
