HSP70 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S2561G0480 (HSP70) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) encodes a member of the Hsp70 family, characterized by an ATPase nucleotide-binding domain, with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including protein folding and refolding, mitochondrial protein import and biogenesis, ERAD pathway, ER unfolded protein response, S-nitrosylation and S-transnitrosylation, DNA replication, cell development, embryogenesis, seed maturation, response to stress, and response to virus. Its product localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane, chloroplast membrane, ER lumen and chaperone complex, and axonemal central pair projection. Related genes in other species link the family to similar chaperone functions.
