HSP89.1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101505628 (HSP89.1, CaHSP89.1) on chickpea chromosome 2 encodes an ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding and protein binding, belonging to the Hsp90 family. The gene is associated with protein stabilization, protein folding, cellular response to heat, starch metabolism, seed development, and nodulation. It has been linked to chlorophyll content and root length. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, ER lumen, plant-type cell wall, plasmalemma, and perinuclear region of the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to embryogenesis and mitochondrial function.
