HSP70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSP70B (CSA17G021630) encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones, possessing ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, and heat shock protein binding functions. It is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER unfolded protein response, the ERAD pathway, and cytosol-to-ER transport. The gene is linked to responses to heat, salt, virus, and general stress, as well as to MAPK cascade signaling, signal transduction, mitotic cell cycle, lateral root development, and vesicle transport. It is associated with traits including reproductive growth time, cell cycle, root development and thickness, and with phenotypes such as abiotic stress tolerance, heat tolerance, plant development, and seed germination under abiotic stress. The protein localizes to the ER lumen, ER chaperone complex, chloroplast membranes, tonoplast, and plant-type cell wall.
