ALP — Glycine max

Summary

GmALP (GLYMA_09G069800V4) encodes a papain-like cysteine peptidase with cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic processes, cysteine-type peptidase activity, and calcium ion binding. It also exhibits vacuolar sorting signal receptor activity and feruloyl-CoA hydratase/lyase activity. The gene is associated with leaf morphology, stomatal closure time, root thickness, and plant growth and development traits. It is linked to osmotic stress tolerance, vacuolar protein transport, seed storage protein sorting, leaf senescence, abscisic acid biosynthesis, and water deficit response. Localization evidence connects GmALP to the lysosome, endosome, Golgi, and secretory vesicles. Related genes in other species link the family to leaf senescence, protein storage vacuole sorting, and abscisic acid biosynthesis.
