CYP — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_1G035360, also known as MtCYP21-4 or CYP, encodes a protein with a cyclophilin-type PPIase domain and cyclophilin-like domain superfamily, with cis-trans proline isomerase activity and cyclosporin A binding capability. This gene is associated with protein folding, electron transfer, triterpenoid anabolism, and shoot development. The encoded protein localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the Golgi complex, trans-Golgi network, endosome, chloroplast stroma, and cytosol. MtCYP21-4 is associated with leaf necrosis. Studies of related genes in other species connect this gene family to photochemical quenching, though this has not been established in barrel medic.
