CISZOG1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G174500 (symbol CISZOG1) on sorghum chromosome 6 encodes a protein with UDP-glycosyltransferase domains and zeatin O-β-D-xylosyltransferase, cis-zeatin O-β-D-glucosyltransferase, and scopoletin glucosyltransferase activities (EC 2.4.1.215). The gene is associated with cytokinin metabolism, regulation of cytokinin-mediated signalling, regulation of hormone levels, and regulation of vegetative meristem size. It is also linked to pigmentation, fruit ripening, seed development, root morphogenesis, flower morphogenesis, leaf morphogenesis, regulation of chlorophyll biosynthetic process, downregulation of growth, glycoprotein anabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to additional UDP-glycosyltransferase activities (EC 2.4.1.203, 2.4.1.358, 2.4.1.128, 2.4.2.40). The related gene CISZOG2 is also annotated on this gene.
