CYP — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_007696, designated DcCYP95 (CYP) on carrot chromosome 2, encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase with cyclosporin A binding, RNA folding chaperone, identical protein binding, mRNA binding, zinc binding, and protein binding activities. This gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, RNA splicing, mRNA splicing via the spliceosome, cold acclimation, response to cold, response to salt, activation of salinity response, response to abscisic acid, response to mannitol, carotenoid anabolism, and polar cell growth. It localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, nuclear speck, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. DcCYP95 is linked to leaf length, cell elongation, low temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, salt tolerance, cell size, endoreplication, cell expansion, organ growth, drought tolerance, freezing tolerance, and impaired vacuolar transport. Related genes in other species connect the family to drought and salt stress tolerance.
