CM — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G175770 (symbol CM, also known as TtCM, TtCM1, CM1, CM3, TtCM3) on durum wheat chromosome 3B encodes a chorismate mutase with chorismate mutase activity (EC 5.4.99.5), and is also annotated for L-ascorbate peroxidase activity and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with chorismate metabolism, prephenate anabolism, tryptophan formation, aromatic amino acid family anabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis pathways, as well as green leaf volatile biosynthesis, cellular oxidant detoxification, and defence response to bacteria. It has been connected to heterosis and protein content traits, and to pathogen response phenotypes. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast stroma, plastid, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to morphological traits, lignin content, photochemical quenching, and stress and pathogen responses.
