PAP2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPAP2 (BOLC102_C08P057100.1) on cabbage chromosome 8 encodes a purple acid phosphatase family protein, possessing phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and protein phosphatase activities, along with ferric iron, manganese, cobalt, and zinc binding capabilities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis and metabolism, pigmentation, regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, and ethylene anabolism. It is linked to cellular response to phosphate starvation, regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, mitochondrial RNA modification, and mitochondrial outer membrane protein import. Associations include photosynthetic rate and anthocyanin content. The encoded protein localizes to the mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast envelope, vacuolar lumen, Golgi complex, endosome, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin accumulation, plant growth, and seed oil yield.
