CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA12G038770 (CYP) in Camelina sativa encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (EC 5.2.1.8) with RNA-binding domains, conferring cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, and detoxification. It is associated with responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, as well as activation of the salinity response. The product localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress tolerance and protein maturation, though these roles are not yet established in Camelina.
