ENO2 — Glycine max

Summary

GmENO2 (GLYMA_16G204600V4) on soybean chromosome 16 encodes a protein with enolase N-terminal, catalytic, and C-terminal domains, and is associated with phosphopyruvate hydratase activity, RNA folding chaperone, SUMO transferase, and DNA/RNA binding functions. This gene is associated with glycolytic process, fermentation, TCA cycle, nitrogen fixation, sucrose metabolism, and response to water, flooding, and low temperature stress. It is linked to leaf length, root length, protein content, stomatal opening, abscisic acid sensitivity, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Phenotypic associations include early flowering, altered freezing tolerance, chilling sensitivity, drought and salt stress tolerance, lignin biosynthesis, leaf senescence, and viral resistance. The protein localizes to the cytosol, mitochondria, mitochondrial envelope, apoplast, endoplasmic reticulum, plasmodesma, and plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed germination, fatty acid accumulation, chilling resistance, and pollen development.
