ACT4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmACT4 (GLYMA_15G038700V4) encodes a 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 activities. It is associated with the actin cytoskeleton, Golgi membrane, chloroplast envelope, plant-type cell wall, and plasmodesma. The gene is linked to seed morphology, seed coat color, endosperm morphology, germination rate, root hair length, root development, hypocotyl morphology, cell elongation, and cell cycle traits. It is associated with drought tolerance, osmotic response sensitivity, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, and photosynthetic rate. Associations also include actin filament stabilization and depolymerization, barbed-end actin filament capping, phospholipid metabolism, and wound healing. Studies of related genes in other species link the actin family to pollen development, root hair development, cell division, pavement cell morphogenesis, and cold tolerance.
