ES6Y — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaES6Y (LOC101501345) on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes a ribosomal eS6-like family protein with structural constituent of ribosome activity, mRNA binding, protein homodimerization, ATP hydrolase and lipase activities, and phase separation nucleator activity. It localizes to the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, ribosome, nucleolus, ER membrane, ESCRT III and SCAR complexes, and proteasome. The gene is associated with negative regulation of HR, systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid mediated signaling pathway, defence response to Gram-negative bacteria, response to singlet oxygen and hypoxia, leaf abscission, actin nucleation and filament organization, meristem growth and structural organization, root morphogenesis, and male and female gamete generation. It is linked to traits including biomass yield, seed yield trait, water use efficiency, nitrogen sensitivity, zinc sensitivity, leaf chlorosis, herbicide sensitivity, disease tolerance, oxidative stress response, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to seedling development, deetiolation, leaf patterning, trichome morphogenesis, drought tolerance, and broad-spectrum disease resistance.
