RPS15 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101499860, designated CaRPS15 on chickpea chromosome 3, encodes a ribosomal protein of the S19/S15e family and is annotated as a structural constituent of the ribosome with ATP hydrolase activity, RNA binding, mRNA binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with ribosomal small subunit assembly, translation, and the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, as well as with the proteasome regulatory particle and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. CaRPS15 is associated with meristem growth and structural organization, root and shoot development, leaf and inflorescence morphogenesis, male and female gamete generation, and seedling development. Associations with agronomic traits include disease tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, zinc sensitivity, and plant growth and development. Related genes in other species connect the family to proteasome assembly, meristem maintenance, leaf size, and defense responses.
