PAP1 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_61116, designated PAP1/PAP26 in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on scaffold00635, encodes a protein with PPA-like, MPP_PAP, PAPs_C, PAPs_N, Purple_acid_Pase-like_N, Calcineurin-like_PHP, and Metallo-depent_PP-like domains. It has phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and protein phosphatase activities, and binds ferric iron, manganese, and zinc. This gene is associated with secondary metabolism, including nicotine and alkaloid anabolism, flavonoid and phenylpropanoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism and pigmentation, and detoxification. It is linked to leaf development, ABA signaling, cellular response to phosphate starvation, and syngamy. The product localizes to the vacuolar lumen, plant-type cell wall, and extracellular space. Additionally, it has been connected to chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the family to phosphotransferase activities (EC 3.1.3.60).
