AAT — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_11G238200V4 (GmAAT) encodes a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent aminotransferase with nicotianamine aminotransferase, L-tyrosine-2-oxoglutarate transaminase, L-aspartate:prephenate transaminase, L-glutamate:prephenate transaminase, L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate transaminase, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase activities. The gene is associated with amino acid metabolic processes, including L-phenylalanine anabolism, tyrosine breakdown, and glutamate homeostasis, as well as ethylene anabolism, photosynthesis light reactions, systemic acquired resistance, embryogenesis, fruit ripening, and digestion. It is linked to glufosinate sensitivity and amino acid content traits. The product localizes to the amyloplast membrane and chloroplast stroma. Related genes in other species link the family to aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, seed protein content, drought tolerance, and root morphology traits.
