DJC53 — Glycine max

Summary

GmDJC53 (GLYMA_03G232700V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a DnaJ domain-containing protein with ATPase activator activity and Hsp70 protein binding. It is associated with protein folding and refolding, including in the endoplasmic reticulum, and with regulation of cellular response to heat and response to flooding. The gene is linked to seed development, seed size, immune response, cell death, pri-miRNA processing, phenylpropanoid metabolism, iron transport, and nuclear export. Its product localises to the ER lumen and membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species are linked to root morphology traits.
