CGL — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G115600, designated PvCGL, encodes a glycosyltransferase 13 family protein with alpha-1,3-mannosylglycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity, protein N-GlcNAc transferase activity, alpha-mannosidase activity, and transglycosidase activity. The gene is associated with protein N-linked glycosylation, glycan biosynthesis, protein storage, digestion, HOG response, and NO storage. The encoded product localizes to the Golgi cis and medial cisternae, trans-Golgi network, endosome, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma. PvCGL is linked to stomatal process-related traits, auxin content, root development and thickness, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include root hair development, longer root hairs, stunted bushy root growth in double mutant contexts, salt- and mannitol-sensitive root growth with callose accumulation, loss of fucosyl/xylosyl epitopes, and auxin homeostasis. Related genes in other species link the family to N-glycan biosynthesis, root growth, and alkaline stress response.
