M2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C024662.2 (CmM2) on melon chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain. The gene product is associated with diverse molecular functions including GTP:GDP antiporter activity, U5 and U2 snRNA binding, L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity, cyclosporin A binding, peroxidase activity, salicylic acid binding, histone and chromatin binding, and protein dimerization activity. It is linked to biological processes such as protein proline isomerization, regulation of ARF protein signal transduction, alternative mRNA splicing, response to light intensity and sulfate starvation, basipetal auxin transport, and embryonic pattern specification. Associations with traits include variegated leaf, starch grain synthesis, respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, sucrose content, jasmonic acid content, heat stress tolerance, disease resistance, and root and seedling development traits. The protein localizes to the Golgi stack, thylakoid lumen, secretory vesicle, and proteasome.
