ENP — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsENP, encoded by the gene LSAT_V11C200090360 on chromosome 2 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), belongs to the NPH3/RPT2-like protein family and contains a BTB/POZ domain characteristic of adaptors in ubiquitination complexes. The gene is annotated to protein ubiquitination as a biological process. LsENP is associated with leaf angle. Studies of related genes in other species link the NPH3/RPT2-like family to auxin-mediated developmental processes, including organ positioning and phototropic responses.
