SOT18 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoSOT18 (BOLC102_C06P053360.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a sulfotransferase domain protein with aliphatic desulfoglucosinolate sulfotransferase, flavonol 3-sulfotransferase, and quercetin-3-sulfate 4′-sulfotransferase activities. The gene is associated with glucosinolate and flavonoid anabolism, as well as pupation, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. BoSOT18 has been linked to sugar content and to glucosinolate biosynthesis phenotypes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to EC 2.8.2.25 and EC 2.8.2.27 activities.
