ENP — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsENP, encoded by the gene LSAT_V11C300112680 on chromosome 3 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), belongs to the NPH3/RPT2-like protein family, which includes an NPH3 domain and a SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily fold. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination and the biological process represented by GO:0015979. LsENP is associated with leaf angle. Studies of related genes in other species, such as CPT1, connect the family to additional developmental processes, though these associations are not yet established in lettuce itself.
