HSP70 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G66540V3 (HSP70) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes an uncharacterized protein with heat shock 70 family domains, ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity, heat shock protein binding, ATP hydrolase activity, and ATP binding. This gene is associated with protein folding in the ER, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, heat acclimation, response to heat and stress, auxin transport and signaling, pollen tube growth, virus-induced PTGS, response to virus, amino acid membrane transport, membrane transport, and spikelet number. The encoded protein localises to the ER chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and axonemal central pair projection. Studies of related genes in other species identify the family as BiP, SCE70, and HSC proteins.
