TATA — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoTATA, encoded by gene BOLND125_C09P005330.1_BOLND125_V1 on chromosome 9 of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), is a member of the TatA/B/E protein family and possesses 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 thylakoid membrane, and chloroplast envelope. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to photochemical quenching and root morphology traits, as well as climatic response phenotypes.
