SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G032520 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4 encodes a SKP1 family protein containing the Skp1 component dimerisation and POZ domains, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, jasmonic acid (JA) signalling, homeostasis, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. It has been linked to leaf size. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species, including OSK1, OSK5, and OSK20, are linked by sequence similarity.
