HSC70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSC70 (CSA13G002390) encodes a member of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family, characterized by an ATPase nucleotide-binding domain and a peptide-binding domain, and annotated with protein folding chaperone activity, nucleotide binding, and multiple additional molecular functions including calcium-dependent phospholipid binding, histone acetyltransferase activity, and protease binding. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as cellular homeostasis, protein localization to chloroplasts, mitochondrial matrix protein import, respiratory burst in defense response, regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition, guard mother cell division, and response to humidity. It is linked to traits including reproductive growth time, cucurbit downy mildew response, leaf vein morphology, gibberellic acid sensitivity, auxin content, nitrate uptake, chloroplast development, stomatal opening, and high temperature stress response. Related genes in other species have been linked to heat stress tolerance, basal defense, cell cycle regulation, and chloroplast biogenesis.
