SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_7G006370 (SKP1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) encodes a SKP1-like protein containing the Skp1_comp_dimer and SKP1/BTB/POZ_sf domains. The gene product is associated with cullin family protein binding and is linked to protein ubiquitination, particularly SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. SKP1 is associated with cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, and homeostasis, as well as jasmonic acid (JA) signaling. It is also associated with organ growth, leaf development, flower development, and leaf size. The protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species further link the SKP1 family to these conserved cellular processes.
