ESP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoESP (BOLC102_C06P011440.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with Kelch-type beta-propeller domains, annotated as an enzyme modulator with lyase activity, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with glucosinolate metabolism and breakdown, nitrile biosynthetic process, thiocyanate metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. It is linked to salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling, defense responses to bacteria, and responses to ozone and hydrogen peroxide. Associations include traits such as drought tolerance, disease tolerance, chlorophyll content, flowering time, leaf and stem senescence, stomatal resistance, and jasmonic acid content. Related genes in other species are linked to glucosinolate hydrolysis to nitriles, salicylic acid response, and herbivory resistance. The protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
