CICDH — Glycine max

Summary

GmCICDH (GLYMA_14G211000V4) encodes a protein with isocitrate/isopropylmalate dehydrogenase domains and has NADP isocitric dehydrogenase activity and NAD isocitric dehydrogenase activity. In soybean, the gene is associated with the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle, glucose breakdown, isocitrate and NADP metabolism, threonine metabolism, isoflavonoid anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, embryogenesis, and responses to glycine and zinc. It has been linked to root morphology traits and salt tolerance (SALTTL), as well as histone methylation, redox homeostasis, and leaf hydraulic conductivity. The encoded protein localizes to mitochondria, chloroplast stroma, cytosol, nucleus, plasmalemma, apoplast, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to chlorophyll content, oxidative stress response, and disease tolerance.
