CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA09G078690 (CYP) in Camelina sativa chromosome 9 encodes a protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain and cyclophilin-like domain superfamily, with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. The gene is associated with protein folding, protein proline isomerization, detoxification, and responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, including activation of the salinity response. Its product localizes to the chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the CYP family to chlorophyll content, photochemical quenching, root length, germination rate, and self-incompatibility, though these associations are not yet established in C. sativa.
