APS2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoAPS2 (BOLC102_C08P029310.1) on cabbage chromosome 8 encodes a sulphate adenylyltransferase. The gene is annotated to ATP:sulfate adenylyltransferase activity and linked to sulfate assimilation, sulfur metabolism, and the cellular response to sulfate starvation. Its product localises to the chloroplast stroma and nucleus. Associations observed for the ASA1 synonym connect BoAPS2 to auxin biosynthesis, tryptophan biosynthesis, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and multiple root traits including adventitious root formation, lateral root formation, primary root elongation, root regeneration, and root growth, as well as PIN2 endocytosis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to de novo root organogenesis, ATP sulfurylase activity, defense response, camalexin biosynthesis, and sulfur nutrition response.
