ACT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_64884 (ACT1) on coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) scaffold05344 encodes an actin family protein with ATPase and hydrolase activity, and is annotated for profilin, phospholipid, actin, F-actin, protein kinase, and phosphorylated amino acid binding, as well as structural constituent of the cytoskeleton, phosphatase activity, and copper binding. The gene is associated with actin filament-based processes including nucleation, stabilization, depolymerization, and capping, as well as cytoskeleton organization, cell tip growth, pronuclear migration, karyogamy, Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport, endomembrane organization, potassium ion import, and response to nutrient. It is linked to traits including seed morphology, leaf area, vegetative vigor, shoot growth angle, root hair length, seed yield, water stress response, aphid response, powdery mildew disease response, and cytokinin content. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf senescence, drought resistance, hypersensitive response, and innate immune signaling.
