CPN60 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S3793G0040 (symbol CPN60) on garden pea chromosome CAADHX020010921.1 encodes a protein with medium-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity and ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity, belonging to the GroEL-like equatorial superfamily and containing an RCK_N domain. This gene is associated with protein folding, refolding, import, and targeting, as well as response to light intensity, fatty acid metabolism, seed germination, and structural organization. It is linked to cytosol localization and seed maturation. Related genes in other species connect the family to CoA-ligase activity (EC 6.2.1.-), though this is not established for the pea gene itself.
