LOC101490844 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101490844 on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a protein with AMP-binding domains and multiple CoA ligase activities, including benzoate-CoA ligase, trans-feruloyl-CoA synthase, (E)-caffeate-CoA ligase, trans-cinnamate-CoA ligase, and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase, and binds ATP. The gene is associated with cinnamic acid metabolism and anabolism, ferulate metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and phenylpropanoid metabolism, as well as circadian rhythm, response to jasmonic acid, and response to wounding. The product localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. It has been linked to shoot dry weight, manganese concentration, and root length. Studies of related genes in other species connect the gene family to 4-coumarate-CoA ligase and cinnamate-CoA ligase activities (EC 6.2.1.12, 6.2.1.25, 6.2.1.34).
