EDM1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_09496 (symbol EDM1, also known as SGT1) on pepper (Capsicum annuum) chromosome 3 encodes a protein SGT1 homolog, a member of the Sgt1-like family containing TPR repeats, a CS domain, and an HSP20-like chaperone domain. The encoded product exhibits preprotein binding, Hsp90 binding, ubiquitin ligase binding, SUMO transferase activity, and protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. It is associated with upregulation of cellular defense response, respiratory burst involved in defense, response to unfolded protein, chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly, protein stabilization, and cellular response to cold and auxin stimulus. The gene is linked to disease tolerance, bacterial and oomycete disease responses, hypersensitive cell death, effector-triggered immunity, and R protein-mediated disease resistance. Associations also include photosynthetic rate, stomatal opening and closure, flowering time, root and shoot meristem development, and responses to temperature stress, oxidative stress, and humidity.
