SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G127240, also known as SKP1, encodes a protein containing SKP1-like and BTB/POZ domains, with molecular function in cullin family protein binding. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, homeostasis, jasmonic acid signaling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. It is linked to leaf size and SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species further connect the SKP1 family to these core cellular processes.
