LOC101504619 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101504619 on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) domain and leucine-rich repeat motifs, and is annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, signaling receptor activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, skotomorphogenesis, seedling development, post-embryonic development, cell differentiation, response to light stimulus, specification of floral organ number, microtubule bundling, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling. It is also linked to defense response, particularly against fungi, and localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, apoplast, endosome, and macromolecular complexes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid perception and signaling.
