SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_7G094120, the SKP1 gene on chromosome 7 of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula), encodes a protein containing SKP1-like and BTB/POZ domains and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, as well as protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, homeostasis, jasmonic acid signaling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. It is linked to leaf size and localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the SKP1 family to similar cellular processes.
