NSP1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmNSP1 (GLYMA_07G039400V4) on soybean chromosome 7 encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding activity. The protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with nitrogen fixation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic fungi. It is associated with regulation of seed dormancy and germination, regulation of secondary shoot formation, asymmetric cell division, radial pattern formation, and photomorphogenesis. Additional associations include negative regulation of the mitotic cell cycle, nuclear transport, sucrose transport, hormone anabolism, cellular response to phosphate starvation, and downregulation of gibberellic acid-mediated signaling. Related genes in other species link the family to nodulation signaling pathway 1-like protein function.
