ENP — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsENP, encoded by gene LSAT_V11C400219460 on chromosome 4 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa), belongs to the NPH3/RPT2-like protein family, characterized by an NPH3 domain and a BTB/POZ domain within the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily. The gene is annotated to protein ubiquitination as a biological process. It is associated with leaf angle. Studies of related genes in other species, such as CPT1, which shares sequence similarity, link the family to auxin-mediated developmental processes, though this specific function is not established in lettuce.
