TBP2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C018014.2, also known as CmTBP2, encodes a protein with TBP-class protein binding, double-stranded telomeric DNA binding, and DNA binding transcription factor activity, containing Histone_H1/H5_H15 and WH-like DNA-binding domains. In melon, this gene is associated with fruit development and ripening, telomere maintenance and its positive regulation via telomerase, nucleosome assembly, DNA damage response, and cellular response to UV-C. It is linked to disease tolerance and root morphology traits, as well as severe growth defects, small seedlings, and complete infertility. The protein localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, chromatin, and telomeric regions. Related genes in other species are linked to telomere length regulation and telomeric DNA binding.
