SUT — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsSUT (CSA_5G469030) on cucumber chromosome 5 encodes a protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). The gene product is associated with sucrose:proton symporter activity, arbutin transmembrane transporter activity, salicin transmembrane transporter activity, maltose:proton symporter activity, biotin transmembrane transporter activity, sucrose permease activity, microtubule motor activity, MEKK activity, CDK activity, microtubule binding, heme binding, kinase activity, protein kinase activity, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. It is associated with phloem sucrose loading and unloading, maltose transport, proton transmembrane transport, carbohydrate membrane transport, embryo sac cellularization, carbohydrate anabolism, alkane anabolism, symmetric cell division, regulation of meiotic nuclear division, guard mother cell division, regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition, very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism, microtubule-based movement, upregulation of cell proliferation, MAPK cascade, DNA re-duplication, and asymmetric cell division. It has been linked to traits including unfilled grain number, phenolic compound content, grain yield, respiration rate, lignin biosynthesis, sucrose content, starch content, shoot apical meristem development, plant tissue development, trichome morphology, days to flowering, cell cycle, auxin sensitivity, cell elongation, jasmonic acid content, plant stress response, abiotic plant stress response, photosynthetic rate, plant embryo development, stomatal complex closure time, leaf composition
