CYP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA19G029560, designated CYP, encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cis-trans proline isomerase activity and cyclosporin A binding capability. In Camelina sativa on chromosome 19, this gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, detoxification, responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, and activation of salinity response. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link this gene family to traits including germination rate, chlorophyll content, root length, heterosis, and self-incompatibility.
