M2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C025192.2, symbol CmM2, encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (EC 5.2.1.8) with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. This melon gene on chromosome 11 is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, fruit development and ripening, and responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol. The product localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link the cyclophilin family to protein folding and stress responses.
