GSL-OH — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoGSL-OH (GSL-OH) on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a protein belonging to the IPNS-like Fe2OG oxygenase family and is annotated with 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity and 3-butenylglucosinolate 2-hydroxylase activity. The gene is associated with glucosinolate biosynthesis and regulation, coumarin and flavonoid anabolism, ethylene production, alkaloid metabolism, and fruit ripening. It is linked to defense responses against oomycetes and fungal molecules, general defense, and response to iron(III). The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, vacuole, plasmodesma, and stress granules. Phenotypic associations include 2-hydroxybut-3-enyl glucosinolate accumulation and insect resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, cytokinin content, and salt tolerance.
