Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MdBEL7
  • Gene Name: BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN transcription factor 7
  • Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
  • Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

  • An apple (Malus domestica) BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN transcription factor 7 (MdBEL7), potentially functioning as a transcriptional repressor of the Chl catabolic genes (CCGs), including MdCLH, MdPPH2 and MdRCCR2, was identified as a partner of the ethylene-activated U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligase MdPUB24 in a yeast library screen.
  • Consequent degradation of MdBEL7 results in enhanced expression of MdCLH, MdPPH2 and MdRCCR2, and thus Chl degradation during apple fruit storage.
  • MdPUB24-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of MdBEL7 increases the expression of MdCLH, MdPPH2 and MdRCCR2 during fruit storage.
  • Our results reveal that an ethylene-MdPUB24-MdBEL7 module regulates Chl degradation by post-translational modification during apple fruit storage.
