PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109300, designated PvPR10, is a French bean gene on chromosome 3 that encodes a Bet v I/MLP family protein with a START-like domain. 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. Related genes in other species connect the family to an RNase activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
