MAP65-1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoMAP65-1 (BOLND125_C03P016860.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 3 encodes a protein of the MAP65_Ase1_PRC1 family that binds microtubules, mediates protein dimerization and protein binding, and is associated with upregulation of microtubule polymerization, microtubule assembly, microtubule nucleation, microtubule bundling, cortical microtubule organization, cytokinesis by cell plate formation, cell growth, and post-embryonic root development. It localizes to the mitotic spindle, preprophase band, cortical microtubules, plastid, cytoplasm, and nucleus. This gene is associated with root elongation, salt tolerance, axial cell growth, and hypocotyl growth anisotropy. Related genes in other species are linked to microtubule polymerization, microtubule organization, microtubule stabilization, cytokinesis, mitotic progression, cell division, and disease resistance.
