NPP5 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C008991.2, also known as CmNPP5, encodes a protein serine/threonine phosphatase belonging to the PPA2-like family, with protein phosphatase activity and regulator activity, and is capable of binding kinases and metals. This melon gene on chromosome 9 is associated with TOR signaling, protein dephosphorylation, stem cell differentiation, and negative regulation of leaf senescence. It is linked to nitrogen utilization regulation, primary root development, seed germination, and responses to cold and abscisic acid. The encoded protein localizes to the PP2A complex, nucleolus, cytosol, and nucleus. Associations with root mass density, seed maturation, leaf senescence, and plant growth traits have been observed. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to ABA sensitivity, root development, seed dormancy, drought tolerance, and stomatal opening.
