5MAT2 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_06683 (5MAT2) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on scaffold00930 encodes a protein with aminoacyltransferase, acetyl-coenzyme A:acetyl alcohol acetyltransferase, and acyltransferase activities, belonging to the CAT-like domain superfamily. This gene is associated with polyamine metabolism, indole alkaloid anabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, lignin anabolism, and alkaloid anabolism. It is linked to response to herbivore, response to stress, JA signaling, and regulation of growth. The encoded product localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to EC numbers 2.3.2.35, 2.3.1.224, and 2.3.1.322, as well as to stigma color traits.
