HSP70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSC70-7 (HSP70) on Camelina sativa chromosome 10 encodes a member of the Hsp70 chaperone family, possessing ATP hydrolase activity, heat shock protein binding, protein folding chaperone activity, and ethene binding. It is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER unfolded protein response, ERAD pathway, protein-chloroplast targeting, sumoylation, MAPK cascade, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, and downregulation of ethylene signalling. The gene is linked to responses to heat, salt, and hypoxia, as well as pollen development and germination, embryo development, and seed dormancy. Associations with agronomic traits include leaf position, stem elongation, stomatal resistance and opening, leaf senescence, flowering time, seed growth and development, root morphology, trichome morphology, and abscisic acid sensitivity. The protein localises to the ER lumen and chaperone complex, plastid stroma, thylakoid, chloroplast envelope, tonoplast, and apoplast.
