SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_7G094170, designated SKP1, encodes a protein containing SKP1-like and BTB/POZ domains and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, homeostasis, jasmonic acid signaling, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. It localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. The gene is linked to leaf size and to SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. Studies of related genes in other species connect the SKP1 family to similar cellular processes, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
