CPN60 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCPNB4 (CPN60, CSA17G034690) in Camelina sativa encodes a chaperonin belonging to the Cpn60/GroEL family, with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity and ATPase binding. It is associated with protein refolding and folding, heat acclimation, and inflorescence development. The protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma and envelope, mitochondria and mitochondrial lumen, cytosol, and cytoplasm. It is linked to leaf temperature. Studies of related genes in other species connect the CPN60 family to photochemical quenching and climate-related traits, though these associations are not established for CsCPNB4 itself.
