LSP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoLSP (BOLC102_C06P020630.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a TIF_eIF_4E domain and is associated with RNA m7G cap binding, translation initiation factor activity, RNA binding, mRNA binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with regulation of translation, defense response, response to virus, downregulation of antiviral response, and antiviral response. It is linked to virus resistance and susceptibility, particularly to potexvirus and turnip mosaic virus, as well as to root hair length and root morphology traits. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, plastid, and eIF-4F complex. Related genes in other species are associated with potyvirus resistance, cold acclimation, root development, and seed viability.
