SEN1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StSEN1 (PGSC0003DMG402003373) on potato chromosome 6 encodes a tRNA-intron lyase (EC 4.6.1.16) with nuclease, translation elongation factor, GTPase, and nucleic-acid-binding activities. The protein localises to the SEN complex, membrane, mitochondria, cytoplasm and nucleus, and is annotated to tRNA splicing, translation elongation, mRNA processing and defence response. StSEN1 is associated with resistance to potato wart disease caused by Synchytrium endobioticum, as well as with phosphate starvation response, hypocotyl elongation, zygote division, leaf senescence and plant defence response. Related genes in other species are linked to tRNA splicing and zygote lethal phenotypes.
