ERA1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoERA1, located on chromosome 7 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), encodes a GTP-binding protein with a G_ERA domain and a KH-type RNA-binding domain. The product is annotated for ribosomal small subunit binding, rRNA binding, GTP binding, and mRNA binding, and is associated with ribosomal small subunit assembly, ribosome biogenesis, rRNA processing, and ABA signaling. It localizes to the chloroplast nucleoid. BoERA1 is linked to drought tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf chlorosis, stomatal resistance, and stomatal opening.
