ASP1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA01G002340 (ASP1) on Camelina sativa chromosome 1 encodes an aspartic peptidase A1 family protein with aspartic endopeptidase activity, nutrient reservoir activity, microtubule binding, identical protein binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with proteolysis, regulation of programmed cell death, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, auxin signaling, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, and osmotic response. It has been linked to seed weight, plant height, brassinosteroid sensitivity, lateral root development, osmotic stress tolerance, abnormal leaf venation with reduced vein number, and reduced root length. The encoded protein localises to the plasmodesma, extracellular region, membrane, cytosol, plasmalemma, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to aspartic-type endopeptidase activity (EC 3.4.23.12).
