C3H24 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_011G078600, symbol C3H24 (also known as PvC3H24 or PvTRM2B) on chromosome 11 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), encodes a protein with RNA methyltransferase activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding. The product contains a TRM2 methyltransferase domain, a CCCH zinc finger, and an RNA-binding domain. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with polyamine metabolism, detoxification, RNA processing, and homeostasis. The gene is linked to transpiration rate. Related genes in other species are associated with photochemical quenching and other traits, though these associations are not yet established in French bean.
