PAP2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPAP2, encoded by gene BOLC102_C05P011770.1 on cabbage chromosome 5, is a purple acid phosphatase family protein with phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase activity, acid phosphatase activity, and protein phosphatase activity, and it binds ferric iron, cobalt, manganese, and zinc. The gene is associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis and metabolism, pigmentation, regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and ethylene anabolism. It is linked to mitochondrial RNA modification, mitochondrial outer membrane protein import, and cellular response to phosphate starvation. Associations also include photosynthetic rate and anthocyanin content. The protein localizes to the mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast envelope, vacuolar lumen, Golgi complex, endosome, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin accumulation, plant growth, and seed oil yield.
