SKP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G056060, the SKP1 gene on chromosome 8 of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula), encodes a protein containing SKP1-like dimerisation and POZ domains, and is annotated with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, protein ubiquitination, cell cycle, cell division, cell motility, secretion, jasmonic acid signalling, homeostasis, leaf development, flower development, and organ growth. 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 SKP1 family to similar ubiquitination and signalling processes.
