ACHE — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_17957 (ACHE) on pepper chromosome 6 encodes a Sigma 54 modulation/S30EA ribosomal protein C-terminal domain-containing protein with GDSL and SGNH_hydro_sf domains. The product is associated with carboxylic ester hydrolase, lipase, acyltransferase, sinapine esterase, acetylajmaline esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, and glycosidase activities, and with ribosomal small subunit binding and rRNA binding. It is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, lipolysis, alkaloid metabolism, isoprenoid anabolism, detoxification, defense response, response to wounding, nodulation, memory, downregulation of translational elongation, and ER organisation. The protein localises to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, chloroplast stroma, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, symbiosome, and extracellular space. This gene is also linked to pungency. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flavonoid and carotenoid content and germination rate.
