FBA1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101496901 (CaFBA1) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, belonging to the Aldolase_I_AS and FBA_I families, with annotated fructose-bisphosphate aldolase activity. It is also associated with histone acetyltransferase activity, histone and mRNA binding, and double-stranded methylated DNA binding. The gene is linked to glycolytic, gluconeogenic, pentose-phosphate shunt, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, galactose, sucrose, flavonoid, and glutathione metabolism, as well as responses to water, stress, and stimulus, immune response, protein secretion, vesicle transport, and cellular homeostasis. It localizes to chloroplast thylakoid, stroma, envelope, thylakoid lumen, apoplast, plasmodesma, and cytosolic ribosome. Associations include plant dry weight and chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance and plant growth.
