TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an enzyme putatively involved in trehalose biosynthesis. The protein has a trehalose synthase (TPS)-like domain but no trehalose phosphatase (TPP)-like domain. ATTPS1 is able to complement yeast tps1 mutants in vivo. The gene product modulates cell growth but not cell differentiation by determining cell wall deposition and cell division. The N-terminal domain of TPS1 has a nuclear localization signal and an autoinhibitory function. The C-terminal domain is important for catalytic fidality of TPS1 and for appropriate signaling of the sucrose status by trehalose 6-phosphate levels in the plant (10.1105/tpc.19.00837). |
