M2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DcM2 (DCAR_026446) on carrot chromosome 8 encodes a protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain and cyclophilin-like domain superfamily. The product also exhibits annotated activities including cyclosporin A binding, salicylic acid binding, histone binding, chromatin binding, peroxidase activity, and L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity. DcM2 is associated with diverse biological processes such as protein proline isomerization, chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly, alternative mRNA splicing, response to light intensity, response to arsenic, and cysteine anabolism. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, sucrose content, starch grain synthesis, root mass density, root hair length, herbicide sensitivity, temperature stress response, and variegated leaf. Additional associations include heat stress tolerance, disease resistance, auxin transport, gravitropism, root meristem development, and embryo patterning.
