ACO1 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlACO1 (Solyc12g005860) encodes a protein with aconitase, intramolecular hydroxytransferase, and 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase activity, and is associated with IRE binding, 4Fe-4S cluster binding, mRNA 5'-UTR binding, poly(U) binding, copper binding, metal binding, ATP binding, and protein binding. In tomato, this gene is associated with response to ether, upregulation of carotenoid anabolism, citrate metabolism, regulation of anabolism, SAM cycle, sporulation, isocitrate metabolism, leaf abscission, methionine metabolism, glyoxylate cycle, lycopene anabolism, response to iron ion starvation, RNA methylation, MEP pathway, carotenoid metabolism, localization, glucosinolate anabolism, and demethylation. SlACO1 is linked to lycopene content, root number, fruit firmness, fruit color, lateral root number, carotenoid content, starch content, fruit shape, root hair length, water use efficiency, ethylene sensitivity, germination rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, root morphology trait, lateral root development, waterlogging stress tolerance, ethylene production, plant growth, gravitropic response, salt tolerance, and abiotic stress response. The protein localizes to the PP2A complex, apoplast, plant-type cell wall, chloroplast stroma, plant-type vacuole, plastid, plasmodesma, mitochondria, cytosol
