PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109602, designated PvPR10, encodes a Bet v I/MLP family protein on French bean chromosome 3. The product possesses melatonin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid binding activities, along with RNA nuclease, hydrolase, signaling receptor, calcium ion binding, and protein phosphatase inhibitor activities. PvPR10 is associated with downregulation and regulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, root development, defense response, and ABA signaling. It localises 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.
