ACS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G185940 (ACS, TtACS) on durum wheat chromosome 5B encodes a 4-coumarate–CoA ligase, an AMP-binding domain protein with acetate-CoA ligase, propionate-CoA ligase, and medium-chain fatty-acid-CoA ligase activities. It is associated with fatty-acyl-CoA anabolism, cinnamic acid metabolism and anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid metabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, circadian rhythm, and response to ethylene. The gene product localises to the cytosol. It has been linked to stripe rust. Studies of related genes in other species, including CCL and AAE proteins, connect the family to additional CoA-ligase activities (EC 6.2.1.17 and 6.2.1.1), though these associations are not yet established in durum wheat.
