PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109802, 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, hydrolase, signaling receptor, calcium ion binding, and protein phosphatase inhibitor activities. 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 is associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the PR10 family to an RNase-like enzyme activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
