ARGAH1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmARGAH1 (GLYMA_03G028000V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a ureohydrolase domain protein with arginase and agmatinase activities, binding manganese, magnesium, and cobalt ions, and also annotated with SUMO transferase and kinase binding activities. The gene is associated with arginine, putrescine, ornithine, proline, and ureide metabolism, the urea cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It has been linked to net photosynthetic rate, nitrogen content, stomatal opening, and abscisic acid sensitivity. Phenotypic associations include callus and gall development, jasmonate and methyl jasmonate response, pollen development, and viral resistance. The protein localizes to chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to putrescine synthesis, stress response, root development, and resistance to Botrytis cinerea.
