HSP70 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G163880 (HSP70) on chromosome 1LG6 encodes a heat shock 70 family protein with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This garden pea gene is associated with protein folding and refolding, protein import and targeting, mitochondrial protein import and biogenesis, S-nitrosylation and S-transnitrosylation, the ER unfolded protein response, the ERAD pathway, DNA replication, cell development, embryogenesis, seed maturation, response to virus, and response to stress. The encoded protein localises to the ER lumen and ER chaperone complex, chloroplast membrane, membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and is also linked to the axonemal central pair projection. Related genes in other species identify the product as a 70-kilodalton heat shock protein.
