PDI6 — Glycine max

Summary

GmPDI6 (GLYMA_06G114800V4) on soybean chromosome 6 encodes a protein disulfide isomerase with thioredoxin domains, catalyzing disulfide bond formation. This gene is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, ER stress response, proteasome degradation, and protein breakdown. It has been linked to leaf senescence, seed germination, endosperm development, cell death, innate immunity, fermentation, the TCA cycle, detoxification, response to high light intensity, and NO storage. Localization evidence connects the product to the ER lumen, secretory vesicles, plant-type vacuole, Golgi complex, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, and plasmalemma. The gene is associated with germination rate and root length traits. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to photoinhibition resistance and D1 protein synthesis, and to phytoremediation and trichlorophenol tolerance.
