BOLC102_C04P067010.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C04P067010.1 on cabbage chromosome 4 encodes a protein with ubiquitin ligase activity, belonging to the PUB12-19-like family and containing U-box, RING, and Armadillo domains. This gene is associated with multiple reproductive and developmental processes, including pachytene, mating, stigma development, pollen recognition, floral organ development, and regulation of long-day photoperiodism and flowering. It is also linked to brassinosteroid signalling regulation, programmed cell death downregulation, and responses to symbiotic bacteria and fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizae formation. Associations with self-incompatibility and heterosis have been noted. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity (EC 2.3.2.27).
