AAT1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G023101, designated PvAAT1 (also known as PvCAT1) on French bean chromosome 3, encodes a basic amino acid permease with L-lysine, L-glutamate and basic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity, containing CAT_C and AA/rel_permease1 domains. The gene is associated with basic amino acid transport, L-arginine import, ROS metabolic process, secretion, and localisation to the membrane, plasmalemma and cytoplasm. It has been connected to amino acid content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, plant biomass, flowering time, and resistance to Pseudomonas syringae. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pathogen resistance, high-light stress tolerance, cadmium tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, salt tolerance, and amino acid transport.
