LOC101498971 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101498971 on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a CBP60 family calmodulin-binding protein with calmodulin-binding domains (Calmod_bind_C, Calmod_bind_N, Calmod_bind_M) and sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with regulation of salicylic acid biosynthetic process, defense response to other organisms, nodulation, starch metabolism, and DNA-dependent transcription. It is linked to chlorophyll content and root length traits. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus. Related genes in other species link this gene family to calmodulin-binding and transcriptional regulation in defense signaling.
