WIP1 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C014061.2 (WIP1) on melon chromosome 7 encodes a WIP coiled-coil domain-containing protein with CDP-diacylglycerol-serine O-phosphatidyltransferase activity and protein membrane adaptor function. The gene is associated with sex determination, carpel development, fruit ripening, ethylene and jasmonic acid signaling, and secondary metabolism. It has been linked to fruit shape, carpel number, plant height, root mass density, seed development, disease tolerance, and brassinosteroid sensitivity. Localization evidence connects the product to the nuclear envelope, ER, Golgi, mitochondria, plasmalemma, cell plate, and spindle. The gene is also associated with meiotic telomere attachment, nuclear organization, microsporogenesis, and embryo shoot apical meristem specification. Studies of related genes in other species link the WIP family to RanGAP anchoring at the nuclear envelope, nuclear shape, meiosis, and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Fusarium wilt.
