CYP71 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3007G171100 (SbCYP71) on sorghum chromosome 7 encodes a protein with cyclophilin-like and WD40 repeat domains, and is annotated with cis-trans proline isomerase activity (EC 5.2.1.8), GTP cyclohydrolase II activity, cyclosporin A binding, histone and chromatin binding, sequence-specific DNA binding, RNA binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with regulation of protein refolding, positive regulation of the cell cycle, shoot morphogenesis, leaf shaping and formation, trichome differentiation, carpel and stamen development, photoperiodism and flowering, dhurrin anabolism, response to mannitol, downregulation of gene expression (epigenetic), and chromatin organization. It localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, chloroplast stroma, plasmalemma, euchromatin, heterochromatin, the CAF-1 complex, and the Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Associations include traits such as plant height, flowering time, leaf and root morphology, anthocyanin content, sulfur content, aphid response, disease tolerance, and cell size.
