PS2 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G141050, designated PvPS2, encodes a protein with phosphocholine phosphatase activity, phosphoethanolamine phosphatase activity, pyrophosphatase activity, inorganic diphosphatase activity, and phosphatase activity, and belongs to the HAD-like superfamily of phosphatases. In French bean, this gene is associated with protein tetramerization, protein dephosphorylation, cellular response to phosphate starvation, cellular response to hypoxia, and signal transduction. It is linked to the endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. PvPS2 is associated with phosphate homeostasis and shows no change in response to multiple stressors. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phosphate content, lateral root length, seed maturation, seed dormancy, stomatal opening, and photochemical quenching, though these associations are not established for the French bean gene itself.
