High impact information on SKU5

  • Our observations suggest that SKU5 affects two directional growth processes, possibly by participating in cell wall expansion [1].
  • The Arabidopsis SKU5 gene encodes an extracellular glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein involved in directional root growth [1].
  • SKU5 was glycosylated and modified by glycosyl phosphatidylinositol and localized to both the plasma membrane and the cell wall [1].
  • The SKU5 gene belongs to a 19-member gene family designated SKS (SKU5 Similar) that is related structurally to the multiple-copper oxidases ascorbate oxidase and laccase [1].
  • The encoded SKS6 protein, like SKU5 appears to lack a functional copper-binding site and is most closely related to Bp10 from Brassica napus and Ntp303 from Nicotiana tobacum [2].
