CAM — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G055510, also known as CAM, encodes a calmodulin-like protein with an EF-hand domain pair and calcium ion binding activity, and is annotated as an enzyme modulator. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with protein synthesis, protein phosphorylation, carbohydrate metabolism, and homeostasis, as well as response to salt and salinity response. The encoded product localises to the cytoplasm and myosin II complex. CAM has been linked to germination rate and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Studies of related genes in other species connect this gene family to calcium-mediated signalling and stress responses.
