Encodes a member of a family of F-box proteins, called the KISS ME DEADLY (KMD) family. Component of SCF ubiquitin protein ligase, interacts with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. AtKFB39 is a homolog of previously identified AtKFB50 (At3g59940) and specifically interacts with Arabidopsis PAL3 and PAL4 in vitro. In planta, together with AtKFB01, KFB20 and KFB50, it regulates PAL protein stability thus controlling phenylpropanoid biosynthesis .
TAIR Short Description:
Galactose oxidase/kelch repeat superfamily protein
the F-box/Kelch-repeat protein At2g44130 is specifically induced by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita during the initial stages of the initiation and maintenance of the feeding site.
