SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_1G112570 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 1 encodes a member of the SKP1 protein family, characterized by an SKP1-like dimerization domain and a BTB/POZ fold, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, particularly SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, as well as jasmonic acid signaling, cell cycle and division, organ and flower development, leaf development, secretion, cell motility, and homeostasis. It is linked to leaf size and localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species further connect the SKP1 family to these core cellular processes.
