AMT1 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoAMT1 (BOLND125_C09P074630.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 9 encodes a protein with anthranilate synthase/aminodeoxychorismate synthase domains and ADC synthase and chorismate-binding domains, and is annotated with anthranilate synthase and aminodeoxychorismate synthase activities. The gene is associated with tryptophan and auxin biosynthesis, folate and tetrahydrofolate anabolism, and PABA biosynthesis. It is linked to responses to ethylene, wounding, and bacteria, and localises to the anthranilate synthase complex, chloroplast stroma, and cytoplasm. Associations include root growth inhibition, lateral and adventitious root formation, ammonium uptake, sulfur nutrition response, alpha-methyltryptophan resistance, PIN2 endocytosis, and IAA biosynthesis. Related genes in other species are linked to ammonium transport, primary root elongation, defense response, and phytoalexin biosynthesis.
