BAM1 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C021214.2, the melon (Cucumis melo) gene CmBAM1 on chromosome 12, encodes a protein with a glycosyl hydrolase family 14 domain and also exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with maltose anabolism, polysaccharide breakdown, and sucrose metabolism. It is linked to fruit development and ripening, as well as responses to cold, herbivory, and thirst. Associations include regulation of shoot development, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, and sugar content. The encoded protein localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the chloroplast stroma, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus, and secretory vesicles. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to starch degradation in leaves, shoot apical meristem maintenance, cold tolerance, and xylem patterning.
