SOT18 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoSOT18 (SOT18) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a sulfotransferase domain and a P-loop NTPase domain. The gene is associated with aliphatic desulfoglucosinolate sulfotransferase activity, desulphoglucosinolate sulphotransferase activity, flavonol 3-sulfotransferase activity, quercetin-3-sulfate 4'-sulfotransferase activity, and sulfotransferase activity. It is associated with glucosinolate anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, and pupation, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. BoSOT18 is linked to sugar content and to glucosinolate biosynthesis phenotypes. Related genes in other species connect the sulfotransferase family to EC numbers 2.8.2.25 and 2.8.2.27.
