R1C-3 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC09G098130.3, also known as R1C-3, is a tomato gene on chromosome 9 that encodes a protein with NB-ARC, RX-like CC, and Apaf_helical domains, characteristic of disease resistance proteins. The product binds ADP, ATP, and metals. This gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including regulation of flavonoid and ethylene anabolism, secondary metabolism, hormone metabolism, response to virus, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, PRR signaling, chromatin silencing, autophagy, cell wall modification, cell morphogenesis, protein processing and breakdown, localization, oviposition, and syngamy. It is linked to flavonoid content and fruit weight. The protein localizes to the membrane and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species, such as tospovirus resistance protein B, connect the family to pathogen resistance.
