LOX1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLOX1 (PSAT4G185080) on garden pea chromosome 4LG4 encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme with linolenate 9R-lipoxygenase, linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase, and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activities, as well as iron binding and oxidoreductase functions. The protein contains lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains. It is associated with fatty acid and lipid oxidation, oxylipin anabolism, jasmonic acid signaling, signal transduction, carpel and fruit development, organogenesis, syngamy, and interaction with host. Localized to the cytoplasm, PsLOX1 is also linked to fatty acid anabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activity (EC 1.13.11.12) and linolenate 9R-lipoxygenase activity (EC 1.13.11.58).
