CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA01G029660 (CYP) in Camelina sativa encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, and detoxification, as well as responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, including activation of the salinity response. Its product localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits such as self-incompatibility, heterosis, germination rate, chlorophyll content, and root length, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
