ACT4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmACT4 (GLYMA_09G111200V4) encodes an actin protein with actin/actin-like and ATPase domains, and is annotated with profilin binding, F-actin binding, structural constituent of cytoskeleton, actin binding, hydrolase activity, transglycosidase activity, ATP binding, and protein binding. It is associated with the actin cytoskeleton, Golgi membrane, plasmodesmata, and chloroplast envelope. The gene is linked to seed morphology, seed coat color, endosperm morphology, germination rate, root hair length and thickness, hypocotyl morphology, cell elongation, photosynthetic rate, osmotic response sensitivity, drought tolerance, and disease tolerance. It is also associated with actin filament stabilization and depolymerization, barbed-end actin filament capping, and phospholipid metabolism. Related genes in other species link the actin family to pollen development, root hair development, cell division, pavement cell morphogenesis, plant height, and cold tolerance.
