EDM1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400020884 (StEDM1) on potato chromosome 3 encodes a member of the Sgt1-like protein family, containing SGS, CS, TPR and HSP20-like chaperone domains, and is annotated with preprotein binding, Hsp90 binding, ubiquitin ligase binding, SUMO transferase activity, and protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. The gene is associated with cholesterol and triterpenoid anabolism, the mevalonate pathway, upregulation of cellular defense response, respiratory burst involved in defense, response to unfolded protein, and nuclear import/export. It localizes to the nuclear matrix, perinuclear region, SCF complex, stress granules, and vacuole. StEDM1 is linked to net photosynthetic rate, leaf and stem size, flowering time, cadmium concentration, brassinosteroid sensitivity, temperature and oxidative stress responses, and disease tolerance, as well as hypersensitive cell death, immunity, effector-triggered immunity, and resistance to oomycetes, nematodes, and herbivory.
