SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G131980 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) encodes a SKP1-like protein, a component of the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily, 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, jasmonic acid signaling, homeostasis, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. It has been linked to leaf size and localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect this gene family to similar cellular processes, though these associations are not yet established in barrel medic itself.
