PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_23082) 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 glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism including responses to auxin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and cytokinin, as well as calcium signaling, chromatin modeling, immune response, cell death, virus-induced PTGS, defense response, response to heat, response to metal, and homeostasis. It is linked to chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species connect this family to auxin-induced proteins and additional glutathione transferases.
