GLRX — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C002276.2, designated CmGLRX, encodes a glutaredoxin family protein with glutathione disulfide oxidoreductase activity, 2Fe-2S cluster binding, and redox activity. In melon, this gene is associated with cellular response to oxidative stress, glutathione metabolism, sucrose metabolism, and phenylpropanoid anabolism. It is linked to signal transduction, nitrogen content, and fruit shape. The encoded protein localises to multiple cellular compartments including the cytosol, plastid, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, plant-type vacuole, and secretory vesicle. Related genes in other species are linked to protein glutathionylation, drought tolerance, root length, water use efficiency, and quantum yield.
