PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G209400, designated PvPR10, encodes a protein belonging to the Bet v I/MLP family and the START-like domain superfamily. The product exhibits melatonin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid binding, RNA nuclease activity, protein phosphatase inhibitor activity, hydrolase activity, signaling receptor activity, and calcium ion binding. PvPR10 is associated with the downregulation and regulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, ABA signaling, root development, and defense response. It localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PR10 family to an RNA nuclease activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
