PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_02490) on pepper chromosome 1 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with Tau-class and thioredoxin-like domains, exhibiting glutathione transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.18). The gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism (including auxin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and cytokinin signaling), calcium signaling, and chromatin remodeling. It is linked to immune response, defense response, cell death, virus-induced PTGS, response to heat, response to metal, and homeostasis. Localisation evidence places the product in the cytoplasm. Trait associations include chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to auxin-responsive processes.
