GST — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_23084 (GST) 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_C_Tau, Omega/Tau-like) and containing thioredoxin-like and glutathione S-transferase domains. This gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism (including responses to auxin, abscisic acid, cytokinin, and gibberellin), calcium signaling, chromatin modeling, immune response, defense response, cell death, virus-induced PTGS, response to heat, response to metal, and homeostasis. It is linked to chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to immunity against Ralstonia solanacearum and cell expansion.
