CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsROC7 (CYP, CSA18G031890) in Camelina sativa encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cis-trans proline isomerase activity, cyclosporin A binding, and protein binding functions. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, detoxification, and responses to salt, mannitol, and abscisic acid, as well as activation of salinity response and root development. The product localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the chloroplast stroma, plastid, plasmodesma, endoplasmic reticulum, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Phenotypic associations link CsROC7 to root growth. Studies of related genes in other species connect the cyclophilin family to self-incompatibility, germination rate, chlorophyll content, and root length and thickness.
