Disease relevance of KAT5/PKT1/PKT2

Although most of the beta-oxidation genes were activated by wound-related factors such as dehydration and abscisic acid, jasmonic acid (JA) induced only ACX1 and KAT5 [1].

High impact information on KAT5/PKT1/PKT2

Analysis of gene co-expression clusters in Arabidopsis suggests a role for peroxisomal KAT2 in beta-oxidation, while KAT5 co-expresses with genes of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway and cytosolic ACAT2 clearly co-expresses with genes of the cytosolic mevalonate biosynthesis pathway [2].
