BCAT4 — Brassica oleracea
Summary
BoBCAT4 (BOLC102_C05P048330.1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT family) with methionine-oxo-acid transaminase, L-isoleucine, L-valine and L-leucine aminotransferase activities. The gene is associated with branched-chain amino acid metabolic processes, including valine and leucine biosynthesis, as well as glucosinolate metabolism and biosynthesis. It has been linked to leaf development, responses to wounding and light stimulus, and localises to mitochondria and cytosol. Associations also include methionine metabolism. Related genes in other species connect the family to dihomomethionine and homophenylalanine biosynthesis, and to traits such as plant height, seed size, and altered glucosinolate and methionine levels.
