M2 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

NaM2 (A4A49_58589) on chromosome 12 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with additional annotated activities including L-serine O-acetyltransferase, peroxidase, salicylic acid binding, and U5/U2 snRNA binding. The gene is associated with nicotine metabolism, cysteine anabolism, the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, alternative splicing, and responses to chlorate and sulfate starvation. It is linked to traits such as leaf length, starch grain synthesis, sucrose content, jasmonic acid content, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, chloroplast development, root hair length, herbicide sensitivity, temperature stress response, and phototropism. Related genes in other species are associated with water stress tolerance, cold stress response, hydrotropism, phototropism, embryo patterning, cell polarity, seed methionine content, and seed storage protein accumulation.
