PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_17589) on pepper chromosome 6 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.18), belonging to the Tau-class and thioredoxin-like superfamily. The gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism including responses to auxin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and cytokinin, as well as calcium signaling, chromatin modeling, immune response, cell death, defense response, response to heat and metal, and virus-induced PTGS. It is linked to chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. The product localises to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to auxin signaling and stress responses.
