TOR — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G104920 (TOR, also known as PsPI3K and VPS34) encodes a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (EC 2.7.1.137) with protein serine/threonine kinase activity and protein complex binding capability. The gene is associated with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate biosynthesis, TOR signaling, autophagy, pexophagy, downregulation of macroautophagy, phosphoinositide-mediated signaling, DNA damage checkpoint, glucose metabolism, gluconeogenesis, telomere maintenance, cellularization, microgametogenesis, sperm motility, and acrosome reaction. It localizes to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complexes, TOR complex, endosome membrane, Golgi complex, and chromosome. The gene has been connected to amylose content, pollen germination, pollen development, leaf senescence, root hair growth, proline accumulation, cellular homeostasis, and responses to salt and heat stress. Related genes in other species link the family to plant growth and development, disease resistance, and stomatal closure.
