SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_7G021380, designated SKP1 in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 7, encodes a protein containing SKP1-like and BTB/POZ domains and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. This gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, and homeostasis. It has been linked to jasmonic acid signaling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth, as well as leaf size. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species further connect this family to SCF complex function.
