HSP70 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G164000 (HSP70) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) encodes a 70-kilodalton heat shock protein, variant 2, a member of the Hsp70 family with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. This gene is associated with protein folding and refolding, mitochondrial protein import and biogenesis, S-transnitrosylation, S-nitrosylation, the ER unfolded protein response (erUPR), ERAD pathway, DNA replication, cell development, embryogenesis, seed maturation, response to virus, and response to stress. It is linked to localisation in the cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane, chloroplast membrane, ER lumen, ER chaperone complex, and axonemal central pair projection. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar chaperone and stress-response roles.
