CUM1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400013421, symbol CUM1 and also known as EIF4E on potato chromosome 3, encodes the eIF-4F p26 subunit, a translation initiation factor with RNA m7G cap binding activity. The gene is associated with translation regulation, protein synthesis, and responses to viruses, fungi, and herbivores, as well as jasmonic acid anabolism, lipid oxidation, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, photoperiodic flowering, and regeneration. It has been linked to potato virus Y resistance, pepper veinal mottle virus resistance, viral susceptibility, disease tolerance, plant yield, root hair length, root thickness, stem and leaf senescence, aphid response, UV-B light sensitivity, jasmonic acid sensitivity and content, stomatal closure time, and self-incompatibility. The product localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, envelope and stroma, nucleolus, P body, and stress granule.
