HSP70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSP91 (CSA16G050560, also known as HSP70) encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of ATP-dependent protein folding chaperones, with ATP hydrolase activity and heat shock protein binding capacity. The gene is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER unfolded protein response, and the ERAD pathway, as well as with responses to heat, salt, virus, and general stress. It is associated with MAPK cascade signalling, signal transduction, and pollen tube growth. The encoded protein localises to the ER chaperone complex, ER lumen, secretory vesicles, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, plastid, and plasmodesmata. Related genes in other species are linked to heat tolerance, virus resistance, stomatal closure, and plant growth.
