PEP — Glycine max

Summary

GmPEP (GLYMA_18G146900V4) encodes a protein with very-long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity, also annotated with trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, protein tyrosine phosphatase, CDK and protein kinase activities, and protein binding. It belongs to the Tyr_Pase-like_PTPLA domain family. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism and biosynthesis, sphingolipid metabolism, fatty acid elongation, cell polarization, embryonic pattern specification, and trichome papilla formation. It localizes to the fatty acid elongase complex, ER membrane, cell wall, and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. GmPEP is linked to seed protein content, photosynthetic rate, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, plant male sterility, root morphology traits, chlorophyll content, and high temperature stress response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to very-long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, pollen fertility, cuticular wax formation, and cell cycle control.
