PDI6 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaPDI6 (LOC101512854) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) characterized by thioredoxin domains and a disulphide isomerase family signature, with molecular function in disulphide bond formation. The gene is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, ER stress response, protein metabolism, cellular homeostasis, secondary metabolism, endosperm development, response to high light intensity, and signal transduction. Its product localizes to the ER lumen, secretory vesicles, plant-type vacuole, chloroplast stroma, Golgi, mitochondria, cytosol, and plasmalemma. CaPDI6 is linked to salt tolerance and, through related genes in other species, the family has been connected to photoinhibition resistance, D1 protein synthesis, phytoremediation, and trichlorophenol tolerance.
