LRR — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_005G036600 (PvLRR) on French bean chromosome 5 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein with enzyme inhibitor activity, nucleotide binding, steroid binding, SNARE binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, signaling receptor activity, protein kinase activity, and ATP binding. This gene is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, glycerolipid anabolism, mitochondria localization, cell development, UV protection, post-embryonic organ development, nitrogen fixation, RNA-directed DNA methylation, secretion, floral organ number specification, stomatal complex morphogenesis, immune response, and skotomorphogenesis. It localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, endosome, and apoplast. The gene is associated with parasitic weed and DNA damage repair. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed weight, seed size, chlorophyll content, drought tolerance, and stomatal resistance.
