ENS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4BV1G095040 (symbol ENS, also known as TtABH1 or TtCBP80) on durum wheat chromosome 4B encodes an 80 kDa nuclear cap-binding protein with MIF4G and CBP80 domains. The gene product exhibits RNA cap binding, mRNA binding, DNA binding, and transcription factor activity, and is associated with mRNA processing, splicing, capping, nonsense-mediated decay, nuclear export, pri-miRNA and ta-siRNA processing, RNA-dependent gene silencing, antiviral response, regulation of adaxial/abaxial pattern formation, meristem development, plant organ morphogenesis, flowering in response to long days, and abscisic acid response. It localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear speck, D body, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. The gene is linked to traits including leaf and inflorescence morphology, shoot meristem development, biotic stress, waterlogging tolerance, salt tolerance, ABA sensitivity, stomatal closure, seed germination, osmotic stress tolerance, and cuticle integrity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to ABA signaling, drought response, flowering time, and gene silencing.
