GOLS1 — Sorghum bicolor
Summary
SORBI_3001G391300, designated GOLS1, encodes an inositol 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.123) with transglycosidase activity, belonging to the glycosyltransferase family 8. This sorghum gene on chromosome 1 is associated with raffinose family oligosaccharide biosynthesis, raffinose anabolism, and galactose metabolism. It is linked to cellular responses to desiccation, cold, heat, high light intensity, oxidative stress, and salinity, as well as carbohydrate storage, phloem transport, and sucrose transport. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi complex, cytoplasm, and nucleus. GOLS1 is associated with abiotic stress response and heat stress tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including grain yield, seed longevity, raffinose content, and responses to chilling, salt, and disease, though these are not established for sorghum.
