MEO — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_22268 (MEO, SKP1B) in Nicotiana attenuata encodes a SKP1 family protein containing Skp1 dimerisation and POZ domains, with cullin family protein binding activity. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, including SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown. It is linked to defense response, immune response, cell death, virus-induced PTGS, JA signaling, seed germination, digestion, regionalization, and clotting. The protein localises to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Associations with traits include germination rate, photosynthetic rate, plant height, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the SKP1 family to SCF complex function.
