HSP70 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoHSP70 (BOLC102_C03P048270.1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a heat shock 70 family protein with ATPase and chaperone activities, annotated as a protein folding chaperone with DXP-synthase, preprotein, glucose, salicylic acid, SUMO, and ubiquitin ligase binding, plus ATP-dependent peptidase and SUMO transferase activities. The gene is associated with diverse processes including RuBisCO assembly, the MEP pathway, ERAD, the unfolded protein response, PSII light-harvesting complex catabolism, and regulation of salicylic acid signaling. It is linked to traits such as photosynthetic rate and ability, biomass yield, plant height, vegetative and reproductive growth time, leaf necrosis and senescence, chloroplast development, and responses to high and low temperature, oxidative stress, cadmium, and pathogens. Associations also include salt and chilling tolerance, disease resistance, cell death, and camalexin production.
