CYP — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G085705 (symbol CYP) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 3 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase), with cis-trans proline isomerase activity and cyclosporin A binding capability. This gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, electron transfer, triterpenoid anabolism, shoot development, and responses to abscisic acid, mannitol, and salt, including activation of the salinity response. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. It has been linked to leaf necrosis. Related genes in other species link the family to peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity (EC 5.2.1.8).
