SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G032400, the SKP1 gene on barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) chromosome 4, encodes a member of the SKP1-like protein family, characterized by Skp1 dimerization and POZ domains, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. This gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, particularly SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, as well as cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, and homeostasis. It has been linked to jasmonic acid (JA) signaling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth, with specific connections to leaf size. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
