ACL — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G248050 (PvACL) on French bean chromosome 3 encodes a member of the MES/HNL family with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, possessing aliphatic and aromatic (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase, mandelonitrile lyase, polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase, MESA, MeJA, MeIAA, carboxylesterase, lipase and general esterase activities. The gene is associated with defense responses to insects and fungi, systemic acquired resistance via salicylic acid signaling, innate immunity, wounding, UV-B and cold responses, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid metabolism, oxylipin and alkaloid anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, glycoside breakdown, indole alkaloid metabolism, nicotinate metabolism, sialylation, interaction with host, and embryo development ending in seed dormancy. Its product localizes to the vacuole, cytosol, plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to osmotic and salt stress tolerance, ABA sensitivity, systemic acquired resistance, triterpene and sterol accumulation, spider mite resistance, and flowering time.
