NSP2 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G077640 (PsNSP2) on chromosome 2LG1 encodes a GRAS family nucleoskeletal protein with sequence-specific DNA binding, protein homodimerization activity, and DNA binding transcription factor activity. It is associated with nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, response to symbiotic fungi, phosphate ion detection, ethylene anabolism, geotropism, radial pattern formation, asymmetric cell division, bundle sheath cell fate specification, leaf development, defense response, signal transduction, maintenance of protein location in nucleus, response to nutrient, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, DNA-dependent transcription, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, and ER. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plant height, leaf size, and petiole length.
