M2 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_7G009740 (M2) on cucumber chromosome 7 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase) with cis-trans proline isomerase activity, and is also annotated for cyclosporin A binding, salicylic acid binding, histone binding, chromatin binding, U2 and U5 snRNA binding, peroxidase activity, and L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including protein proline isomerization, chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly, alternative mRNA splicing, regulation of ARF protein signal transduction, response to light intensity, wound healing, and cellular response to sulfate starvation. It is linked to numerous traits such as photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, sucrose content, starch grain synthesis, variegated leaf, root hair length, root mass density, herbicide sensitivity, zinc sensitivity, temperature stress response, and jasmonic acid content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought response, cold stress tolerance, hydrotropism, phototropism, and embryo patterning.
