SABP2 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_33726 (SABP2) on chromosome 2 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a member of the MES/HNL and alpha/beta hydrolase families, with polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase, MESA esterase, MeJA esterase, MeIAA esterase, lipase and hydrolase activities. The gene is associated with salicylic acid and jasmonic acid metabolism, systemic acquired resistance, immune and defense responses, gluconeogenesis, indole alkaloid and oxylipin anabolism, detoxification, response to UV-B and cold, signal transduction, and homeostasis. It is also linked to photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to salt and oxidative stress responses.
