COMT — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_09715 (CaCOMT) encodes a protein with domains including COMT-like, COMT-like_dimerisation, COMT_C, WH_DNA-bd_sf, SAM-dependent_MTases_sf, and WH-like_DNA-bd_sf, and has annotated enzyme activities including caffeate O-methyltransferase, flavone 3'-O-methyltransferase, quercetin 3-O-methyltransferase, acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase, myricetin 3'-O-methyltransferase, O-methyltransferase, SAM-dependent methyltransferase, methyltransferase, protein phosphorylated amino acid binding, protein dimerization activity, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein binding, and ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor. In pepper, CaCOMT is associated with placentation, indole glucosinolate metabolism, serotonin metabolism, seed oilbody biogenesis, regulation of anthocyanin metabolism, anabolism, melatonin anabolism, flavonol biosynthetic process, mucilage anabolism during seed coat development, sulfur metabolism, positive regulation of protein breakdown, pigmentation, response to mannitol, cadmium transport, fatty acid metabolism, indole glucosinolate anabolism, response to freezing, and lignin anabolism. It is linked to pungency, leaf vein morphology trait, viral disease response trait, cell growth and development trait, lignin content, fruit shape, and photosynthetic rate. The gene product localizes to the stress granule, plant-type cell
