SHD — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_02005 (symbol SHD, also known as HSC80) on coyote tobacco chromosome 7 encodes a heat shock protein 90 family member, containing Hsp90 and HATPase domains, and is annotated with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity. The gene is associated with diverse molecular functions including DNA polymerase activity, transcription regulator activity, and telomeric repeat binding. It has been linked to biological processes such as viral translation, cellular response to unfolded protein, respiratory burst involved in defense response, and oviposition. Associations include floral organ morphology, seed set percent, submergence tolerance, bacterial and viral disease responses, temperature stress response, aphid response, and reproductive growth time. Related genes in other species are associated with thermotolerance, broad-spectrum disease resistance, salinity tolerance, and chloroplast envelope maintenance.
