HSP70 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoHSP70 (BOLC102_C07P053060.1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a member of the Hsp70 family, a heat shock protein with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. It is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, Golgi, and secretory vesicles. The gene is associated with protein folding in the ER, the ER unfolded protein response, ERAD pathway, protein refolding, protein synthesis, cell division, embryogenesis, pollen development, pollen germination, pollen tube growth, apoptotic process, cell death, pigmentation, eye pigmentation, response to virus, response to heat, and response to stress. It is linked to sugar content, proline content, cadmium concentration, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, heat stress response, thermotolerance, wound response, abiotic stress response, and radiation response. Related genes in other species link the family to seed weight, germination rate, and abiotic stress response traits.
