ZAP1 — Capsicum annuum
Summary
T459_19814, also known as ZAP1, WRKY1, or WRKY20, encodes a WRKY transcription factor 20 on pepper chromosome 7. The product possesses sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, and metal binding, and localizes to both the nucleus and mitochondria. This gene is associated with the regulation of defense responses, systemic acquired resistance, and responses to bacterial, fungal, and chitin molecules. It is linked to salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling pathways, as well as abscisic acid-mediated signaling involved in stomatal movement and gibberellin metabolism. Associations with leaf senescence, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, disease resistance, flowering time, and nitrogen remobilization have been observed. Related genes in other species are linked to pathogen defense, drought resistance, and late blight resistance.
