SRP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G205480 (symbol SRP, also known as PsSRP3, LDAP3, or PsLDAP3) on garden pea chromosome 1LG6 encodes a rubber elongation factor (REF) family protein. The gene product is associated with protein binding and has been linked to adiposome organization, lipid storage, protein targeting and transport, proteolysis, and upregulation of growth and response to thirst. It localizes to the adiposome, plant-type vacuole, and cytoplasm. Observed associations include lipid droplet biogenesis and abundance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress-related functions and drought tolerance.
