PAP1 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_09672 (PAP1, also known as PAP27) encodes a purple acid phosphatase (PAP) family protein with phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and protein phosphatase activities, and binds ferric iron, manganese, cobalt, and zinc. In Nicotiana attenuata, it is associated with anthocyanin and flavonoid metabolism, pigmentation, phenylpropanoid and alkaloid anabolism, secondary metabolism, nicotine anabolism, detoxification, phloem transport, mitochondrial RNA modification, and protein import into mitochondria and chloroplasts. The gene is linked to leaf vein morphology, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, phosphate utilization and starvation response, anthocyanin biosynthesis, flavonoid content, leaf senescence, pollen development, abiotic stress tolerance, lipid metabolism, and vascular development. Related genes in other species are linked to phosphate limitation tolerance, anthocyanin pigmentation, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and seed oil yield.
