Abstract
ANK repeat containing proteins are common in plants and play important roles in cell cycle regulation, cytoskeleton interaction, transcription, ion transport, signal transduction, and defense responses. ACCELERATED CELL DEATH 6 (ACD6) is a member of Ankyrin repeat transmembrane (ANK-TM) group, with thirteen subgroups. In this study, we investigated all ACD6-like genes in eight leguminous plants. Fourteen, eleven, ten, seven, eight, eleven, five, and eight ACD6-like genes were identified in Glycine max, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vigna unguiculate, Vigna radiata, Vigna angularis, Pisum sativum, Cicer arietinum, and Lupinus angustifolius, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that ACD6-like proteins from those eight leguminous plants can be divided into five groups (I–V). In addition, the number of motifs varied from three to eight among those ACD6-like proteins, suggesting functional divergence among those ACD6-like proteins. The expression profiles of ACD6-like genes suggested their functional diversification in leguminous plants. The gene expression profile of Glycine max under pathogen infection showed that some ACD6-like genes are involved during the pathogen response. This study lays a solid foundation for further studies of ACD6-like genes in leguminous plants.
