HPR3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHPR3 (CSA03G016300) on Camelina sativa chromosome 3 encodes a protein with multiple NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase activities, including formate dehydrogenase, (2R)-hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase, glycerate dehydrogenase, glyoxylate reductase, hydroxypyruvate reductase, and D-lactate dehydrogenase activities, and contains a D-isomer 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase catalytic domain. The gene is associated with the oxidative photosynthetic carbon pathway, formate breakdown, hypersensitivity, immune response, and homeostasis. It has been linked to photorespiratory flux, photochemical efficiency, and plant growth. The encoded protein localises to mitochondria and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid accumulation and impaired tyrosine conversion, as well as plant growth and development traits.
