ACO1 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlACO1 (Solyc07g052350) encodes a protein with aconitase activity and domains including Aconitase_4Fe-4S_BS, AcnA_IRP_Swivel, and Aconitase/IRP2. It is associated with intramolecular hydroxytransferase activity, 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase activity, IRE binding, and mRNA 5'-UTR binding. The gene is linked to citrate metabolism, isocitrate metabolism, the glyoxylate cycle, methionine metabolism, the SAM cycle, the MEP pathway, carotenoid and lycopene anabolism, leaf abscission, response to ether, response to iron ion starvation, and sporulation. SlACO1 is associated with fruit traits including lycopene content, fruit firmness, fruit color, and fruit shape, and with root morphology including root number, lateral root number, and root hair length. It is also linked to ethylene sensitivity, germination rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, water use efficiency, and starch content. Phenotypic associations include lateral root development, gravitropic response, salt tolerance, and abiotic stress response. The protein localizes to mitochondria, chloroplast stroma, plastids, cytosol, and the apoplast.
