CBL — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCBL, located on chromosome 8 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea), encodes a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme with cysteine-S-conjugate β-lyase, mimosinase, and cystathionine gamma-synthase activities. The gene is associated with transsulfuration and de novo L-methionine biosynthesis, as well as calcium signaling and stress responses. Its product localizes to the chloroplast stroma and cytoplasm. BoCBL is associated with salt tolerance and histone methylation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to abiotic stress resistance, including drought, cold, osmotic, and heavy metal stress tolerance, as well as root development and embryo patterning.
