HSP70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSP91 (CSA07G059940, also known as HSP70) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes an ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone belonging to the Hsp70 family, with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, protein binding, and involvement in disulphide bond formation. The gene is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER unfolded protein response, the ERAD pathway, protein refolding, the MAPK cascade, signal transduction, and responses to stress, salt, heat, and virus. It is linked to the ER chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, and plastid. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to heat tolerance, virus resistance, stomatal closure, and plant growth.
