EPSPS — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_07262 (EPSPS) on chromosome 2 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes an uncharacterized protein with 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase activity, an enzyme in the shikimate pathway. This gene is associated with aromatic amino acid family anabolism, amino acid anabolism, the shikimate pathway, chloroplast localization, response to herbicide, detoxification, regeneration, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, circadian rhythm, protein splicing, and homologous recombination. Related genes in other species link it to the same enzyme class (EC 2.5.1.19).
