GATA — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvGATA (PHAVU_006G036200) on French bean chromosome 6 encodes a protein with amidase and glutaminyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activities, possessing an amidase domain and ATP-binding capability. This gene is associated with NAE metabolism, glutaminyl-tRNAGln biosynthesis via transamidation, mitochondrial translation, auxin anabolism, lipolysis, protein transport, and seed germination. The encoded product localizes to the glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase complex, chloroplast outer membrane and stroma, ER membrane, mitochondria, plasmalemma, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to amidase activity (EC 3.5.1.4) and glutaminyl-tRNA synthase activity (EC 6.3.5.7), and to photochemical quenching.
