GSL-OH — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGSL-OH, encoded by gene BOLC102_C04P063260.1 on cabbage chromosome 4, is a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with 3-butenylglucosinolate 2-hydroxylase activity, belonging to the IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase family. The gene is associated with regulation of glucosinolate biosynthetic process and the accumulation of 2-hydroxybut-3-enyl glucosinolate. It is linked to defense response to oomycetes, response to molecule of fungal origin, defense response, and to ethylene, flavonoid, coumarin, and alkaloid anabolism. Associations with fruit ripening, response to iron(III), and insect resistance have also been observed. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, vacuole, plasmodesma, and stress granules. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, cytokinin content, and salt tolerance.
