MTR_5G085030 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G085030, designated MtASK1, encodes a SKP1-like protein containing the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily domain. The product is associated with cullin family protein binding, auxin receptor activity, auxin binding, MAPK phosphatase activity, and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, among numerous other molecular functions. MtASK1 is linked to the regulation of organ growth, negative regulation of protein breakdown, acropetal auxin transport, gibberellic acid signalling, and response to trehalose and ACC. It is also associated with traits including seedling vigour, bacterial disease response, bacterial blight resistance, plant male sterility, stem senescence, starch grain synthesis, and metabolite content. The gene is associated with the nuclear ubiquitin ligase complex and the SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown pathway. Related genes in other species are linked to floral organ development, photoperiodic flowering time control, auxin and abscisic acid responses, and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae infection.
