GSH2 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_006G094500, designated PvGSH2, encodes a glutathione synthase, an enzyme with glutathione synthase activity, glutathione binding, ATP binding, magnesium binding and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with glutathione anabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, response to stress and response to jasmonic acid, and its product localises to the plastid and cytosol. PvGSH2 is associated with cadmium tolerance, ozone tolerance, jasmonate hypersensitivity, endoplasmic reticulum stress response and morphology, seedling and plant development, root growth, and response to 2,4-dinitrotoluene. Related genes in other species link the family to glutathione biosynthesis, phytochelatin synthesis, cadmium resistance, stress tolerance and seedling lethal phenotypes.
