ENP — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsENP, encoded by the gene LSAT_V11C400219400 on chromosome 4 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), belongs to the NPH3/RPT2-like protein family and contains a BTB/POZ domain, placing it within the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination and the biological process GO:0015979. It has been linked to leaf angle. Studies of related genes in other species, such as CPT1, which shares sequence similarity with LsENP, connect the family to developmental processes, though this relationship is not established in lettuce. No direct molecular function has been annotated for this gene in the species.
