Encodes PERMEABLE LEAVES3 (PEL3), a putative acyl-transferase. Mutation in this locus results in altered trichome phenotype (trcichomes become tangled during leaf expansion). Additional phenotype includes altered cuticle layer.
Computational Description
PERMEABLE LEAVES3 (PEL3); FUNCTIONS IN: transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups, transferase activity; INVOLVED IN: epidermis morphogenesis, localization, trichome morphogenesis, cutin biosynthetic process, embryo development ending in seed dormancy; LOCATED IN: cytoplasm; EXPRESSED IN: 21 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 7 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Transferase (InterPro:IPR003480); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: HXXXD-type acyl-transferase family protein (TAIR:AT2G39980.1); Has 1807 Blast hits to 1807 proteins in 277 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 736; Fungi - 347; Plants - 385; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 339 (source: NCBI BLink).
