CRC — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRC (CSA11G015240) on Camelina sativa chromosome 11 encodes a seed storage protein belonging to the 11S globulin family, characterized by cupin and RmlC-like jellyroll domains, with nutrient reservoir activity and IgG/IgE binding capabilities. The gene is associated with seed and embryo development, cotyledon development, and protein homotrimerization and hexamerization. It is linked to abscisic acid biosynthesis and response, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, photoprotection, xanthophyll metabolism, and regulation of superoxide release. Associations include seed protein content, amino acid content, abscisic acid concentration, violaxanthin and neoxanthin content, root morphology, and seed storage protein accumulation. The protein localizes to endosperm protein bodies, the endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast envelope and stroma, mitochondria, plasmodesmata, and the plasma membrane. Related genes in other species link the family to neoxanthin synthesis and abscisic acid accumulation.
