HSP70 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoHSP70 (BOLC102_C01P027180.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 1 encodes a heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family member with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This gene is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, Golgi complex, and secretory vesicles. It is linked to diverse biological processes including protein folding in the ER, the ER unfolded protein response, ERAD pathway, protein refolding, protein synthesis, response to heat, response to stress, response to virus, cell death, apoptotic process, embryogenesis, pollen germination, pollen tube growth, pollen development, cell division, pigmentation, and eye pigmentation. BoHSP70 has been connected to agronomically relevant traits such as sugar content, proline content, cadmium concentration, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, heat stress response, thermotolerance, wound response, abiotic stress response, and radiation response.
