CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA16G044480, designated CYP, encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with protein folding and the regulation of protein refolding, as well as responses to abiotic stresses including salt, mannitol, and abscisic acid, and is linked to detoxification and activation of the salinity response. The protein localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity (EC 5.2.1.8).
