RESUMO
A gene of unknown function, Gohir.A03G007700.1 (gene ID: Gohir.A03G007700_UTX-TM1_v2.1; transcript ID: Gohir.A03G007700.1_UTX-TM1_v2.1), identified in Gossypium hirsutum was studied using bioinformatic analyses of the sequence and structure of its encoded protein. Results from domain prediction, conserved residues and structure comparison indicate the encoded plant-specific protein (UniProt A0A1U8N485) is part of the VAN3-binding protein family with a conserved phosphoinositide-binding site. Homology comparison suggests functional similarity with Arabidopsis FORKED-like FL5 and 6, which localize to the Golgi apparatus and are linked to vein development and leaf size phenotypes.
