BOLC102_C04P049470.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C04P049470.1 on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a thaumatin-like protein with glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity and IgE binding capacity. This gene is associated with multiple defense-related processes, including systemic acquired resistance, immune response, defense response to fungi, cell death, and killing of cells of other organisms. It is also linked to pigment accumulation, carotenoid anabolism, sulfur compound anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, lignin anabolism, calcium signaling, response to desiccation, and response to abscisic acid. The encoded protein localizes to the apoplast and extracellular space. Additionally, this gene is associated with carotenoid content and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.39) and various climate-related phenotypes.
