AC97 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G284400 (AC97, PsACT4) encodes an actin family protein with ATPase and hydrolase activity, containing actin and ATPase_NBD domains. It binds actin, F-actin, profilin, ATP and proteins, and is a structural constituent of the cytoskeleton. The gene is associated with actin polymerization, depolymerization, nucleation, filament stabilization and capping, as well as cytoskeleton organization, cell tip growth, nuclear movement, microtubule assembly, sporulation, insemination, sperm motility and capacitation, acrosome reaction, protein import, fucose and xyloglucan anabolism. It localizes to the actin cytoskeleton, Golgi membrane, endosome, chloroplast envelope, plant-type cell wall and plasmodesmata. Associations include seed and endosperm morphology, root hair length and thickness, cell cycle and elongation, organ identity, photosynthetic rate, osmotic response, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, and plant fitness. Related genes in other species are linked to pollen and root hair development, cell division, pavement cell morphogenesis, plant height, and cold tolerance.
