CRB — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRB (CSA17G006950) on Camelina sativa chromosome 17 encodes a cruciferin, a member of the 11S seed storage protein family with cupin domains. The gene product is annotated with nutrient reservoir activity and IgG/IgE binding, and is associated with protein homotrimerization, seed development, seed germination, and cellular response to abscisic acid stimulus. It localizes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and extraorganismal space. CsCRB is linked to seed protein content and seed storage protein accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed maturation, seed viability, seed longevity, amino acid content, drought tolerance, and salt response.
