HSP70 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA038733 (HSP70) in Indica rice encodes a heat shock 70 family protein with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, and heat shock protein binding functions, acting as a protein folding chaperone. It is associated with protein refolding, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, auxin transport and signaling, pollen tube growth, and response to heat. The protein localizes to the ER chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. HSP70 is linked to heat tolerance, grain yield per plant, spikelet fertility, spikelet number, plant height, root length, relative root length, and leaf size.
