ANT — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlANT (SOLYC11G062130.2) on tomato chromosome 11 encodes a protein with ATP transmembrane transporter activity, histone acetyltransferase activity, deacetylase activity, SUMO transferase activity, and double-stranded methylated DNA binding. It is associated with adenine nucleotide transport, mitochondrial ADP/ATP transmembrane transport, pigmentation, anthocyanin and flavonoid anabolism, photoprotection, shade avoidance, anther development, and ethene mediated signalling pathway. The gene is linked to fruit color, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, osmotic stress response, leaf relative water content, photosynthetic rate, germination rate, seed dormancy, and stomatal opening. It localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane, mitochondrial envelope, vacuole, chloroplast envelope, and nucleolus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plant growth, embryo viability, basal immunity, and thermo-resilience.
