PR5 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsPR5 (CSA_3G002760) in cucumber encodes a thaumatin-like protein with glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity and IgE binding capacity. This product is associated with systemic acquired resistance, defense responses to fungi, and killing of cells of other organisms. It has been linked to response to abscisic acid and localizes to the apoplast and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.39).
