AAT2 — Camelina sativa
Summary
CsAAT2 (CSA08G012270) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes an aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) with L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate transaminase activity, pyridoxal phosphate and copper binding, and ATP hydrolase activity. The gene is associated with amino acid metabolic processes, 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate metabolism, the TCA cycle, and anabolism. It has been linked to seed weight, plant height, root development, meristem growth and identity, leaf morphogenesis, inflorescence development, and disease tolerance. Associations also include herbicide and zinc sensitivity, and response to misfolded protein. The product localises to mitochondria, cytosol, plastid, plasmodesma, and plant-type cell wall and vacuole. Related genes in other species are linked to aspartate content, cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase activity, vitamin B6 homeostasis, and zinc deficiency tolerance.
