GT5 — Lactuca sativa
Summary
LsGT5 (GT5) on chromosome 5 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with coniferyl-alcohol, hydroquinone, and anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase activities, as well as dual-specificity protein kinase and MEKK activity. The gene is associated with lignin metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, sugar-mediated signalling, stomatal closure, seed development, leaf development, and salinity response. It has been linked to root morphology, salt tolerance, reduced ABA sensitivity in seed germination and root elongation, and increased salt tolerance during seedling germination. Associations also include sinapoyl malate and monolignol glucoside accumulation, azoxystrobin degradation, wound response, lignification, and phenylpropanoid metabolism. Related genes in other species are linked to lignin monomer glucosylation and sugar response.
