SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G033460 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4 encodes a member of the SKP1 protein family, characterized by SKP1-like dimerization and POZ domains, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, protein ubiquitination, 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, as well as leaf size. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the SKP1 family to similar ubiquitination and signaling processes.
