GLYMA_11G224600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_11G224600v4 on soybean chromosome 11 encodes a subtilisin-like serine peptidase, possessing serine-type endopeptidase activity and serine-type peptidase activity, along with identical protein binding and protein homodimerization activity. The product belongs to the peptidase S8 family and contains subtilisin-related domains. This gene is associated with diverse biological processes including protein storage, pH reduction, fermentation, digestion, self-proteolysis, peptide breakdown, regulation of cell wall pectin metabolism, upregulation of defense response to insects, nitrogen fixation, plant-type cell wall modification, secondary metabolism, positive regulation of gene expression, calcium signaling, response to symbiotic bacteria, cotyledon development, NO storage, lipid metabolism, and arbuscular mycorrhizae formation. It localizes to the apoplast and extracellular region. The gene has also been linked to drought tolerance. Related genes in other species connect the family to serine-type endopeptidase activity (EC 3.4.21.25).
