UGT74B1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoUGT74B1 (UGT74B1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with thiohydroximate beta-D-glucosyltransferase, indole-3-acetate beta-glucosyltransferase, and multiple steviol and quercetin glucosyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with glucosinolate biosynthesis and accumulation, desulfoglucosinolate and aromatic glucosinolate synthesis, and auxin homeostasis. It is also associated with secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including terpenoid, triterpenoid, saponin, and carotenoid anabolism, as well as detoxification, defence responses to bacteria and fungal molecules, callose deposition, leaf development, and pupation. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to auxin content and climatic adaptation traits.
