NUT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_38283 (NUT, also known as FLS2) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on scaffold05478 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains, classified as RLP23-like. The product possesses peptide hormone binding, signaling receptor activity, calmodulin binding, and ATP binding functions. This gene is associated with defense responses, including activation of defense against bacteria, upregulation of defense response, and cellular response to salicylate stimulus. It is linked to lignin anabolism, autophagy, endocytosis, and viral translation. Associations with disease resistance, immune signaling, abscisic acid signaling, and mannitol stress tolerance have been noted. The gene is also connected to self-incompatibility, brassinosteroid sensitivity, stomatal complex morphogenesis, lateral root development, and post-embryonic plant organ development. The product localizes to the plasma membrane, ER membrane, plant-type cell wall, and plasmodesmata.
