BCAT1 — Triticum aestivum
Summary
TaBCAT1 (TRAESCS4A02G059800) on wheat chromosome 4A encodes a branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.42) with L-isoleucine, L-valine, L-leucine and methionine-oxo-acid transaminase activities, belonging to the BCAT family. The gene is associated with yellow rust susceptibility in bread wheat. It is linked to branched-chain amino acid metabolism and anabolism, L-methionine salvage, glucosinolate anabolism, defense response, response to wounding and light stimulus, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, and nucleus and plant-type cell wall organization. The encoded protein is associated with chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, Golgi complex and plant-type vacuole localisation. Associations also include stem rust, photosynthetic rate, nitrate uptake, leaf composition, seedling growth and development traits, and organ identity.
