PAP85 — Glycine max

Summary

GmPAP85 (GLYMA_20G146200V4) encodes a protein belonging to the Cupin 1 superfamily, with nutrient reservoir activity. The gene is associated with protein storage in vacuoles and the endoplasmic reticulum, and is linked to seed development, germination, and embryogenesis. It has been connected to amino acid content, seed protein content, seed weight, and seed coat color. Additional associations include peptide, glutathione, cysteine, and carotenoid anabolism, as well as sulfur metabolism, fermentation, digestion, proteolysis, homeostasis, and response to virus. The product localizes to the aleurone body, protein storage vacuole, vacuole, ER, and extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to seed maturation, dormancy, germination rate, drought tolerance, and virus resistance.
