GLYMA_08G116300V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G116300v4 on soybean chromosome 8 encodes a papain-like cysteine peptidase, belonging to the peptidase C1A family and containing a peptidase inhibitor I29 domain. The enzyme exhibits cysteine-type peptidase activity and thiol endopeptidase activity, and is associated with proteinase-activated receptor binding. This gene is linked to protein storage, processing, digestion, proteolysis, and peptide anabolism, as well as seed development, maturation, and germination. It is associated with photorespiration, sensitization, and NO storage. The encoded protein localizes to the vacuole, lysosome, ER lumen, aleurone body, and extracellular space. Associations with seed weight, seed coat color, and amino acid content have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed protein mobilization during germination.
