EDM1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaEDM1 (T459_16586) on pepper chromosome 6 encodes a protein with Sgt1-like, TPR, CS, and SGS domains, annotated with Hsp90 binding, ubiquitin ligase binding, SUMO transferase activity, and chaperone protein binding. It is associated with upregulation of cellular defense response, respiratory burst involved in defense response, and hypersensitive cell death response, as well as responses to cold, auxin stimulus, and unfolded protein. The gene is linked to traits such as bacterial disease response, cucurbit downy mildew response, temperature stress response trait, oxidative stress response, photosynthetic rate, flowering time trait, and stomatal opening. Localization evidence connects it to the nuclear matrix, SCF complex, stress granule, and vacuole. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance, basal defense, and heat tolerance.
