TATA — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoTATA (BOLND125_C07P042160.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 7 encodes a TatA/E family protein with pH-dependent protein transporter activity and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with the twin-arginine translocation pathway, protein translocation within membranes, and chloroplast thylakoid membrane protein import. Its product localizes to the TAT protein transport complex, thylakoid membrane, chloroplast envelope, and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the TatA family to photochemical quenching and root morphology traits, though these associations are not yet established in cauliflower.
