Comments
Comment typeDescription
Biophysicochemical PropertiespH dependence: Optimum pH is 8.5.;
Catalytic ActivityUDP-alpha-D-galactose + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol = UDP + 3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol.
Developmental StageLow and continuous expression throughout whole developmental stages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11553816}.
FunctionInvolved in the synthesis of the major structural component of photosynthetic membranes and in the chloroplast envelope biogenesis. Can use both prokaryotic (18:1/16:0) or eukaryotic (18:2/18:2) 1,2-diacylglycerol species, but operates with some preference for the eukaryotic one. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11553816}.
InductionInduced by phosphate deprivation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11553816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14730084, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16762032}.
MiscellaneousAuxin activates expression during Pi starvation, whereas cytokinin represses it.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAK50066.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast outer membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:11553816}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed mainly in floral buds. Detected in roots, leaves, stems, siliques and pollen tubes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11553816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14730084}.
