PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_22738) on pepper chromosome 9 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.18), belonging to the Tau-class GST family. The gene is associated with toxin breakdown, glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism, calcium and auxin signaling, response to cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, heat, and metal, as well as immune response, virus-induced PTGS, cell death, and chromatin modeling. It is linked to chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to drought tolerance and sensitivity, oxidative stress response, hydrogen peroxide content, quantum yield, lignin, starch, and anthocyanin content, seed maturation, and pathogen defense.
