PAP1 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_41979 (PAP1) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on scaffold05931 encodes a metallo-dependent phosphatase-like protein with hydrolase activity. The gene is associated with secondary metabolism, including flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, and anthocyanin metabolism, as well as alkaloid anabolism and regulation of anthocyanin anabolism. It has also been linked to detoxification, ABA signaling, and leaf development. Localization evidence points to a chloroplast-related compartment. Additionally, PAP1 is associated with chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to general hydrolase activity (EC 3.-.-.-), but these functions are not established for this gene.
