LSP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoLSP (BOLC102_C08P012870.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 8 encodes a protein with TIF_eIF_4E_CS, TIF_eIF4e-like and TIF_eIF_4E domains, and is associated with RNA m7G cap binding, translation initiation factor activity, RNA binding, mRNA binding and protein binding. The gene is associated with defense responses, including regulation of defense response, response to virus, downregulation of antiviral response, and responses to salicylate, ethylene and jasmonic acid, as well as response to anoxia and regulation of translation. It is linked to virus resistance and susceptibility to turnip mosaic virus and potexvirus infection, along with male gametophyte development, root hair length and root morphology traits. The protein localises to the cytoplasm, nucleus, plastid and eIF-4F complex. Related genes in other species link the family to potyvirus resistance, cold acclimation, root development and selective mRNA translation.
