TPI — Glycine max

Summary

GmTPI (GLYMA_13G336200V4) encodes a triose-phosphate isomerase, an enzyme with triose-phosphate isomerase activity that also binds copper. This soybean gene on chromosome 13 is associated with glycolytic process, gluconeogenesis, the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, cellular respiration, and oxidative phosphorylation. It is linked to the anabolism of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, ATP, RNA, DNA, and carboxylic acids, as well as to glycerol breakdown, mycose biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, and protein acetylation. Associations with regulation of photosynthesis, response to zinc, and autophagy regulation have also been noted. The encoded protein is localized to the cytosol, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, apoplast, plasmalemma, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, and plasmodesmata. Related genes in other species link the triose-phosphate isomerase family to sugar metabolism, plant dry weight, and chlorophyll content.
