M2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_015539 (DcM2) on carrot chromosome 4 encodes an uncharacterized protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain and cyclophilin-like domain superfamily. It is associated with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, sensitization, response to abscisic acid, response to salt, activation of salinity response, response to mannitol, and carotenoid anabolism. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity (EC 5.2.1.8).
