LOC101513119 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101513119 on chickpea chromosome 2 encodes a protein with NADP nucleosidase and DPNase activities, ATP and ADP binding, and protein homodimerization activity. The product contains domains including TIR, NB-ARC, LRR, and others characteristic of ROQ1-like and other plant disease resistance proteins. It is associated with NAD breakdown, upregulation of programmed cell death, the hypersensitive response, antiviral and antifungal defence responses, defence response to other organisms, and signal transduction. The protein localises to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity and RNase H-like domains, though these functions are not established for this chickpea gene.
