PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_23097) on pepper chromosome 9 encodes a glutathione S-transferase C-terminal domain-containing protein with glutathione transferase activity. The gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism, calcium signaling, auxin signaling, and chromatin modeling. It has been linked to immune response, defense response, cell death, homeostasis, and virus-induced PTGS. The product localizes to the cytoplasm. Associations with chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content have been noted. Studies of related sequences in other species link the family to an auxin-induced protein and a probable glutathione S-transferase, as well as EC 2.5.1.18.
