Putative lipid-transfer protein DIR1

UniProtKB accession:  Q8W453

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Putative lipid transfer protein required for systemic acquired resistance (SAR) long distance signaling. May interact with a lipid-derived molecule to promote long distance signaling associated with SAR. Together with AZI1, required for glycerol-3-phosphate- (G3P) and azelaic acid- (AA) induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Component of plant systemic immunity involved in priming defenses in a AA-dependent manner, by modulating production and/or translocation of a mobile signal(s) during SAR. Is able to bind with high affinity monoacylated phospholipids, mainly lysophosphatidylcholines (PubMed:18552128).
