HSF30 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaHSF30 (HSF30) on pepper chromosome 8 encodes a heat stress transcription factor with DNA-binding and transcription factor activity, and is associated with protein binding, heat shock protein binding, transcription corepressor activity, and promoter-specific chromatin binding. The gene is linked to cellular responses to heat, unfolded protein, hypoxia, and hydrogen peroxide, as well as heat acclimation, cellular thermotolerance, ABA signaling, cell death, sumoylation, nuclear export, and regulation of meiotic recombination. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, cytosol, plasmalemma, Golgi, and plant-type cell wall. Associations include temperature stress response, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, chlorophyll content, flowering time, seed yield, starch grain synthesis, plant growth and development, ethylene sensitivity, and abscisic acid sensitivity. Related genes in other species are linked to heat stress response, thermotolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, drought resistance, and basal immunity.
