SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G110048 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 3 encodes a SKP1 family protein with molecular function in cullin family protein binding. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, and homeostasis. It is linked to jasmonic acid (JA) signaling, as well as organ growth, leaf development, and flower development. Associations with leaf size have been noted. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the SKP1 family to similar cellular processes.
