ACT4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmACT4 (GLYMA_03G144800V4) encodes an actin protein containing an actin/actin-like conserved sequence and an ATPase nucleotide-binding domain. The product exhibits profilin binding, F-actin binding, actin binding, ATP binding, and hydrolase activity, and is a structural constituent of the cytoskeleton. It localizes to the actin cytoskeleton, Golgi membrane, chloroplast envelope, plasmodesma, and plant-type cell wall. GmACT4 is associated with seed morphology, root weight, root hair length, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, drought tolerance, osmotic response sensitivity, and disease tolerance. It is linked to actin filament bundle formation, root hair growth, pollen tube elongation, cytokinesis, vesicle trafficking, immune response, and organ development. Related genes in other species are linked to pollen development, root hair development, cell division, pavement cell morphogenesis, and cold tolerance.
