UniProt functional annotation for Q256S2

UniProt code: Q256S2.

Organism: Fragaria ananassa (Strawberry) (Fragaria chiloensis x Fragaria virginiana).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; fabids; Rosales; Rosaceae; Rosoideae; Potentilleae; Fragariinae; Fragaria.
 
Function: Involved in the control of flavonoid biosynthesis in fruits, probably by binding directly to natural flavonoids (PubMed:19969523). Binds the natural flavonoid quercetin-3-O-glucuronide with affinities in the low micromolar range (PubMed:24133217). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19969523, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24133217}.
 
Subunit: Monomer (PubMed:24133217). Interacts with AP (PubMed:28656626). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24133217, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28656626}.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in roots (PubMed:19969523). Expressed in open flowers (PubMed:19969523). Expressed at low levels in leaves, flower buds and fruits (PubMed:19969523). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19969523}.
Allergen: May cause an allergic reaction in human (PubMed:27086707). Binds to IgE of patients allergic to birch Bet v 1 (PubMed:27086707). Causes degranulation of basophils sensitized with IgE of patients allergic to birch Bet v 1 (PubMed:27086707). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27086707}.
Miscellaneous: Fruits silencing FRAA3 exhibit loss of pigmentation in mature fruits due to the lack of anthocyanin biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19969523}.
Similarity: Belongs to the BetVI family. {ECO:0000305}.
