HSC-2 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_7G174160 (HSC-2) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, chromosome 7) encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones, possessing ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. The gene is associated with response to heat, stress, virus, and the immune response, as well as protein refolding, the ERAD pathway, and the unfolded protein response (erUPR). It is linked to cytoskeleton and actin cytoskeleton organization, pollen tube growth, detoxification, glycan biosynthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane, chloroplast membrane, ER lumen, and ER chaperone complex. An association with zinc concentration has also been noted.
