NUT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_30997 (NUT, also known as RLP12) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on chromosome 7 encodes a receptor-like protein with peptide hormone binding, signaling receptor activity, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and belongs to the RLP23-like family with leucine-rich repeat domains. The gene is associated with defense responses to parasitic plants, immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling pathways, activation of innate immune response, and response to molecules of fungal origin. It is linked to cellular response to salicylate stimulus, autophagy, lignin anabolism, lateral root development, and response to nutrient levels. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, cell wall, and plasmodesmata. Associations include self-incompatibility, brassinosteroid sensitivity, disease resistance, abscisic acid signaling, and mannitol stress tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to pathogen resistance and various climate-related traits.
