SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G096950, designated SKP1 in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 5, encodes a protein containing SKP1 dimerisation and POZ domains and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, homeostasis, jasmonic acid signalling, leaf development, flower development, organ growth, and SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. It has been linked to leaf size. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar ubiquitination and developmental processes, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
