RAB — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G124000 (RAB, PsRAB) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) on chromosome 5LG3 encodes a protein with a C2H2-type zinc-finger domain and a plant development regulator domain, and has DNA-binding transcription factor activity and zinc-binding activity. It is associated with regulation of meristem organisation, DNA-dependent transcription, regulation of DNA-templated transcription, intracellular transport, vesicle transport, protein breakdown, flavonoid anabolism, and responses to ethylene and cold. The protein localises to the nucleus. This gene has been associated with protein content, cytokinesis, cell geometry, floral organogenesis, organ separation, hypocotyl growth, and cellulose biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to petal size and morphology, floral organ development, salt response, organ identity, and directional cell growth.
