M2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C020806.2 (CmM2) on melon chromosome 12 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cyclosporin A binding, peroxidase activity, and additional annotated molecular functions including salicylic acid binding, histone binding, and U5/U2 snRNA binding. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as protein proline isomerization, regulation of ARF protein signal transduction, alternative mRNA splicing, basipetal auxin transport, and responses to light intensity, chlorate, and arsenic. It has been linked to traits including variegated leaf, starch grain synthesis, respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, sucrose content, root hair length, meristem identity, chloroplast development, jasmonic acid content, and heat stress tolerance. Related genes in other species connect the family to water stress tolerance, hydrotropism, phototropism, embryo patterning, and cell polarity.
