SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G032460, the SKP1 gene of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4, encodes a protein containing SKP1-like dimerisation and POZ domains, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. This gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, and homeostasis. It has been linked to jasmonic acid (JA) signalling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth, as well as leaf size. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species, identified through sequence similarity, connect the SKP1 family to similar cellular processes.
