COIL — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsCOIL, encoded by the gene LSAT_V11C400168700 on chromosome 4 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), is a coilin family protein that binds U1 and U2 snRNA and is associated with RNA processing. The protein localises to the nucleus and has been linked to Cajal body formation. Related genes in other species connect the coilin family to delayed flowering, enhanced GFP expression in meristem regions, plant immunity, and resistance to Botrytis cinerea. Sequence similarity also links the family to leaf chlorosis and other miscellaneous traits.
