TLP2 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101501226 (CaTLP2) on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a protein containing a Tubby_C domain and an F-box domain, with evidence that the product binds transcription cis-regulatory regions and is annotated to regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene is associated with response to fungi and localises to the plastid, cytosol, plasmalemma and nucleus. In chickpea, CaTLP2 has been connected to seed coat mucilage homogalacturonan biosynthesis and seed mucilage production. Studies of the Arabidopsis relative TLP2 link the family to salt stress tolerance, drought stress tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, stomatal response to ABA, and immunity, and sequence similarity connections further associate the family with drought tolerance, oxidative stress response and salt tolerance.
