LKR — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_000446 (DcLKR) on carrot chromosome DCARv2_C10746510 encodes a protein with saccharopine dehydrogenase (NADP+, L-lysine-forming) activity and saccharopine dehydrogenase activity. This gene is associated with L-lysine breakdown and spore germination, and its product localises to mitochondria, cytosol and cytoplasm. DcLKR is associated with respiration rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the LKR/SDH family to lysine catabolism, seed germination, mitochondrial function, and responses to drought, salt, osmotic stress and ABA.
