M2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_022952 (DcM2) on carrot chromosome 6 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with additional annotated molecular functions including GTP:GDP antiporter activity, U5 and U2 snRNA binding, L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity, peroxidase activity, and salicylic acid binding. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as protein proline isomerization, alternative mRNA splicing, response to light intensity, response to arsenic, and cysteine anabolism. It has been linked to numerous traits including variegated leaf, starch grain synthesis, respiration rate, temperature stress response, zinc sensitivity, phototropism response trait, root phototropism response trait, sucrose content, herbicide sensitivity, root hair length, root mass density, jasmonic acid content, photosynthetic rate, and chloroplast development trait. The gene product localizes to the Golgi stack, thylakoid lumen, secretory vesicle, and proteasome. Related genes in other species are linked to hydrotropism, phototropism, cold stress tolerance, drought response, and embryo patterning.
