USP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G048320 (USP) on chromosome 2LG1 encodes a BURP domain-containing protein. In garden pea, this gene is associated with ecdysteroid anabolism, nitric oxide storage, embryogenesis, microsporogenesis, lateral root formation, and pollen development. The encoded protein localises to the Golgi stack and extracellular space. Studies of related BURP domain proteins in other species link the gene family to seed maturation and protein content. The gene is also connected to several VF30.1-like sequences.
