CF1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G075500, also known as PvCF1, encodes a dynamin GTPase on chromosome 3 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The protein contains dynamin, GTPase, pleckstrin homology, and GED domains, and exhibits GTPase, GTP binding, clathrin binding, microtubule binding, and protein binding activities. This gene is associated with regulation of endocytosis, cytokinesis by cell plate formation, cell plate formation involved in plant-type cell wall biogenesis, regulation of phragmoplast microtubule organization, trichome branching, root hair initiation, stigma development, and vascular tissue pattern formation. It localizes to clathrin-coated vesicles, the cell plate, microtubules, the Golgi medial cisterna, and the cell cortex. Associations with agronomic traits include relative root length, seed set percent, nitrate uptake, pollen fertility restoration, arsenic concentration, leaf composition, organ identity, seedling growth and development, disease tolerance, and root morphology. Related genes in other species are linked to immune response, cell plate formation, callose deposition, and plant growth.
