CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA19G027890 (CYP) in Camelina sativa on chromosome 19 encodes a protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain and a cytochrome P450 superfamily domain, conferring cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, detoxification, and responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, including activation of the salinity response. Its product localizes to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits such as heterosis, germination rate, chlorophyll content, and root length, though these associations are not yet established in Camelina sativa.
