Also known as

Summary
Encodes a spermine synthase. Required for internode elongation and vascular development, specifically in the mechanism that defines the boundaries between veins and nonvein regions. This mechanism may be mediated by polar auxin transport. Though ACL5 has been shown to function as a spermine synthase in E. coli, an ACL5 knockout has no effect on the endogenous levels of free and conjugated polyamines in Arabidopsis, suggesting that ACL5 may have a very specific or altogether different in vivo function.

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Thermospermine is produced through the action of ACL5 and required for stem elongation. Excess amounts of thermospermine had inhibitory effects on plant growth.

  2. ACL5 has a prominent role in the correct specification of xylem cells through its action on the duration of xylem element differentiation. [ACAULIS 5] [ACL5]
    Title: ACAULIS5 controls Arabidopsis xylem specification through the prevention of premature cell death.
  3. Results suggest a model in which ACL5 plays a role in the translational activation of SAC51, which may lead to the expression of a subset of genes required for stem elongation.
    Title: The dwarf phenotype of the Arabidopsis acl5 mutant is suppressed by a mutation in an upstream ORF of a bHLH gene.
  4. Putative spermine synthases from Arabidopsis thaliana could be identified as thermospermine synthases.
    Title: Putative spermine synthases from Thalassiosira pseudonana and Arabidopsis thaliana synthesize thermospermine rather than spermine.
  5. The thickvein mutation that affects vein thickness, was found to reside in the ACL5 gene, which encodes a spermine synthase and whose expression is specific to provascular cells. [ACL5]
    Title: Arabidopsis thickvein mutation affects vein thickness and organ vascularization, and resides in a provascular cell-specific spermine synthase involved in vein definition and in polar auxin transport.
