GT5 — Lactuca sativa
Summary
LsGT5 (GT5), encoded by gene LSAT_V11C500239230 on lettuce chromosome 5, is a UDP-glycosyltransferase with coniferyl-alcohol, hydroquinone, and anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase activities. It is associated with lignin metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, sugar-mediated signaling, stomatal closure, seed and leaf development, and salinity response. The gene has been linked to root morphology, salt tolerance, and reduced ABA sensitivity in seed germination and root elongation. Related genes in other species are associated with monolignol glucoside accumulation, lignification, wound response, and azoxystrobin degradation. The encoded protein localizes to mitochondria and the nucleus.
