PFK — Solanum tuberosum
Summary
StPFK, located on potato chromosome 4, encodes a 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) with ATP and diphosphate-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase activities, and belongs to the phosphofructokinase domain family. The gene is associated with glycolytic process, sucrose and starch anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, response to glucose, and nitric oxide storage. Its product localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. StPFK is associated with glycolytic pathway regulation. Related genes in other species link the family to plant growth, reduced root length, and altered glycolytic metabolite concentrations. Sequence similarity also connects the family to hexose content, fruit color, leaf size, and salt tolerance traits.
