ALP — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoALP (BOLC102_C09P056280.1) on cabbage chromosome 9 encodes a papain-like cysteine peptidase of the C1A family, with cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and additional annotated functions including vacuolar sorting signal receptor activity, feruloyl-CoA hydratase/lyase activity, and calcium ion binding. The gene is associated with proteolysis, vacuolar transport, Golgi-to-vacuole trafficking, secretion, immune response, response to ethylene, and positive regulation of apoptotic signaling. It is linked to phenylpropanoid and vanillin anabolism, as well as ferulate metabolism. Localization evidence connects the product to the lysosome, endosome, Golgi cis cisterna, and secretory vesicle. Trait associations include photosynthetic rate, leaf morphology, stomatal closure time, root thickness, and plant growth and development. Phenotypic links involve leaf senescence, stomatal closure, vacuolar protein sorting, osmotic stress tolerance, root growth, and abscisic acid biosynthesis. Related genes in other species are linked to senescence.
