HSC70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSC70 (CSA13G002310) in Camelina sativa encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of protein folding chaperones, with annotated calcium-dependent phospholipid binding, D-glucose binding, Hsp90 binding, histone acetyltransferase activity, and nucleotide binding. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including cell glucose homeostasis, protein localization to chloroplasts, mitochondrial matrix protein import, respiratory burst in defense response, regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition, and protein stabilization in the endoplasmic reticulum. It has been linked to numerous agronomically relevant traits such as reproductive growth time, cucurbit downy mildew response, high temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, leaf senescence, root development, stomatal opening, and chloroplast development. The gene product localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the ER chaperone complex, mitochondrial outer membrane, chloroplast outer membrane, and nuclear envelope.
