PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109200, designated PvPR10, encodes a Bet v I/MLP family protein on French bean chromosome 3. 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. It is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, ABA signaling, root development, and defense response. Localisation evidence links the protein to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is also associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PR10 family to an RNA nuclease activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
