CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA15G031900 (CYP) in Camelina sativa on chromosome 15 encodes a cyclophilin-type PPIase (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, EC 5.2.1.8) with cis-trans proline isomerase activity and cyclosporin A binding capacity. This gene is associated with protein folding and regulation of protein refolding, as well as detoxification. It is associated with responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, and with activation of salinity response. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits such as germination rate, chlorophyll content, root length, heterosis, and self-incompatibility.
