HSP70 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G098120 (HSP70) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) encodes a heat shock 70 kDa protein family member with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This gene is associated with diverse biological processes including mitochondrial protein import, protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ERAD pathway, S-nitrosylation, seed maturation, embryogenesis, response to virus, and response to stress. It is linked to localisations such as the ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species further connect the family to cellular stress responses and protein homeostasis.
