HSP70 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C026399.2, designated CmHSP70 (also known as HSP70-17), encodes a heat shock 70 kDa protein family member with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This melon gene on chromosome 8 is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, stress response, and pollen development, germination, and tube growth. It localizes to the ER lumen, ER chaperone complex, secretory vesicles, tonoplast, Golgi, and cytosol. CmHSP70 is linked to photosynthetic rate and thermotolerance, as well as heat, wound, abiotic, and radiation stress responses. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to heat, drought, and salt stress tolerance, and through sequence similarity to traits including fruit length and size, seed weight, plant height, chlorophyll content, and net photosynthetic rate.
