SHD — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_29911, symbol SHD (NaSHD) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata), encodes an ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone of the HSP90 family, characterized by heat shock protein 90 and HATPase_C domains. The gene product is associated with protein folding, stabilization, and cellular response to heat, as well as defense response, cell death, secretion, viral translation, oviposition, NO storage, and homeostasis. It localizes to the ER lumen, cytosol, cytoplasm, plasmalemma, perinuclear region, and macromolecular complexes. Related genes in other species link this family to general chaperone functions, but these associations are not established for NaSHD itself.
