Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CaATL1
• Gene Name: AT-hook-Like gene 1
• Genome:
• Species: Capsicum annuum

Functional Descriptions:

• The chili pepper CaATL1: an AT-hook motif-containing transcription factor implicated in defence responses against pathogens.
• Expression of CaATL1 was specifically induced in host- and non-host-resistant responses against bacterial and viral pathogens in pepper plants.
• CaATL1 transcripts also increased following salicylic acid and ethephone treatment but were only mildly induced by methyl-jasmonate treatment. CaATL1::smGFP (soluble-modified green fluorescent protein) fusion protein localized to nuclei in tobacco BY2 protoplasts.
• The C-terminal region of the CaATL1 protein fused to the LexA DNA binding domain was able to activate reporter gene expression in yeast. To analyse further the role of the CaATL1 in pathogen defence response, we generated CaATL1-over-expressing transgenic tomato plants.
