ENP — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsENP, encoded by the gene LSAT_V11C200091930 on chromosome 2 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), is a member of the NPH3/RPT2-like protein family, containing an NPH3 domain and a BTB/POZ domain characteristic of the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, a biological process annotated directly on this locus. Additionally, LsENP has been linked to leaf angle. Studies of related genes in other species, such as CPT1, connect the broader gene family to developmental processes, though these specific associations are not yet established in lettuce itself.
