CPN60 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G080360 (symbol CPN60, preferred name PsCPNB4) encodes a chaperonin Cpn60/GroEL family protein with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity and ATP binding. This garden pea gene on chromosome 2LG1 is associated with protein folding, refolding, import, targeting, structural organization, seed germination, seed maturation, and response to light intensity. The product localizes to the chloroplast envelope, chloroplast stroma, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to RuBisCO large subunit-binding protein subunit beta function and photochemical quenching.
