Protein
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit beta
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction. Together with GCR1 and GPA1, acts as a negative regulator of ABA during seed germination and early seedling development. The heterotrimeric G-protein controls defense responses to necrotrophic and vascular fungi probably by modulating cell wall-related genes expression (e.g. lower xylose content in cell walls); involved in resistance to fungal pathogens such as Alternaria brassicicola and Fusarium oxysporum. Modulates root architecture (e.g. lateral root formation). Acts with XGL3 in the positive regulation of root waving and root skewing. Involved in the asymmetric division of zygote and specification of apical and basal cell lineages (PubMed:27014878).
Similarity
Belongs to the WD repeat G protein beta family.
