PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109500, 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. PvPR10 is associated with regulation and downregulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, ABA signaling, root development, and defense response. It localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene has been associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the PR10 family to ribonuclease (EC 3.1.27.-) activity.
