BOLC102_C05P058840.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C05P058840.1 on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a glycosyl hydrolase family 19 catalytic domain and a chitin-binding domain, and is annotated with chitinase activity and chitin binding. The gene is associated with chitin breakdown, cell wall macromolecule catabolic processes, and polysaccharide breakdown, as well as defence responses to fungi, induced systemic resistance, and hypersensitive response-programmed cell death. It has also been linked to sucrose transport, membrane transport, signal transduction, glucosinolate anabolism, and leaf necrosis. The encoded protein is predicted to localise to the vacuole. Related genes in other species connect the family to chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) activity.
