CBL — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G256700 (SbCBL) encodes a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme with cystathionine gamma-synthase, cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase, mimosinase and carbon-sulfur lyase activities, belonging to the CGS1/2 family. The protein localises to the chloroplast stroma and cytoplasm. SbCBL is associated with transsulfuration, de novo L-methionine biosynthesis, selenium metabolism, cellulose biosynthesis, homeostasis and signal transduction. It has been linked to salinity tolerance, mRNA stability, histone methylation, wound response, sulfur metabolism and high temperature tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed protein and amino acid content, grain yield, root development, seed germination, and tolerance to salt, cold, drought, osmotic and heavy metal stress, as well as methionine accumulation and ethionine resistance.
