NUT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_42144 (NUT) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) with leucine-rich repeat domains, annotated with peptide hormone binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase activity, and enzyme inhibitor activity. The gene is associated with response to nutrient levels, cellular response to salicylate stimulus, autophagy, lignin anabolism, stomatal complex morphogenesis, lateral root development, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, and activation of salinity response. It localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmalemma, and endosome. Associations include self-incompatibility, brassinosteroid sensitivity, disease resistance, immune response, mannitol stress tolerance, abscisic acid signaling, shade avoidance response, and root elongation. Related genes in other species are linked to pathogen resistance.
