SK20 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MtSK20 (MTR_2G100830) in barrel medic encodes a SKP1-like protein containing the SKP1 dimerisation domain and is annotated with cullin family protein binding and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, protein ubiquitination, and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. It is linked to jasmonic acid signalling, cell cycle and division, leaf and flower development, organ growth, secretion, cell motility, circadian rhythm regulation, and homeostasis. The protein localises to the nucleus, cytosol, cytoplasm, and Cajal body. Associations with agronomic traits include photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, flowering time, seedling hypocotyl length, lateral root length, root mass density, leaf size, stomatal opening, and root morphology. Related genes in other species are linked to circadian rhythm, flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, stomatal aperture, and osmotic stress response.
