InterPro domain: IPR044782

General Information

  • Identifier IPR044782
  • Description Sialyltransferase-like protein 1/5

Abstract

This entry represents plant sialyltransferase-like proteins, including SIA1 (also known as Protein MALE GAMETOPHYTE DEFECTIVE 2 MGP2) from Arabidopsis and STLP5 from Oryza sativa subsp. japonica. SIA1 is localised to the Golgi apparatus and is required for normal pollen grain germination and pollen tube growth [ 1 , 2 ].
