CYC — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101500116 (CaCYC, also known as ROC1) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with cis-trans proline isomerase activity, cyclosporin A binding, and structural constituent of ribosome functions. The gene is associated with regulation of protein phosphorylation and refolding, protein secretion, translation, vesicle transport, and cellular homeostasis. CaCYC is linked to responses to salt, mannitol, molecules of bacterial origin, blue and red/far-red light signaling, de-etiolation, and the metabolic burst. It is associated with negative regulation of the hypersensitive response and activation of salinity response. Localization evidence places the product in the cytosol, mitochondria, chloroplast stroma, apoplast, plasma membrane, stress granules, and the mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit complex. Associations with bacterial disease response, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, stomatal opening, cold tolerance, wound response, light response, seedling de-etiolation, shoot branching, plant architecture, and immune responses including basal defense, PAMP-triggered immunity, and resistance to Pseudomonas and phytoplasma have been reported.
