CP1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoCP1, also known as CP1 or BoATCP1, is a cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) gene on chromosome 9 that encodes a centrin/CML-like protein with EF-hand domains, capable of calcium ion binding, protein domain specific binding, and acting as an enzyme modulator. The gene is associated with the hyperosmotic salinity response and has been linked to the salt tolerance trait. Its product localises to the plastid, membrane, cytosol, and myosin II complex. Related genes in other species link the family to salt stress tolerance.
