SCC Gene Description

Gene name ESP
AGI ID AT1G54040
Gene length 341
Uniprot ID Q8RY71
Protein Name Epithiospecifier protein
Synonym TASTY
EC number N/A
Entrez Gene 841842
Refseq mrna NM_180632
Refseq protein NP_850963
Function Myrosinase is not sufficient for indol-3-acetonitrile production from indol-3-ylmethyl GSL and requires the presence of functional epithospecifier protein (ESP) in planta and in vitro to produce significant levels of indol-3-acetonitrile (Burow et al. 2008)
Group GSL degradation
Reference Burow et al. (2008); Kuchernig et al. (2012)

MF

protein binding

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).

GO:0005634

CC

nucleus

A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some

BP

response to jasmonic acid

Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a jasmonic acid stimulus.

GO:0010150

BP

leaf senescence

The process that occurs in a leaf near the end of its active life that is associated with the dismantling of cell components and membranes, loss of functional chloroplasts, and an overall decline in metabolism.
