CD4B — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT7G039080 (symbol CD4B, preferred name PsCLPC) encodes a Clp ATP-dependent peptidase and protein folding chaperone with ATP hydrolase, protein kinase, mRNA binding, ATP binding, and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with protein import into chloroplasts, chloroplast stroma protein import, protein transport, chloroplast organization, regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis, electron transfer, cellular response to heat, upregulation of abscisic acid-mediated signaling, activation of salinity response, and upregulation of response to thirst. It localizes to the Tic complex, plastid stroma, chloroplast inner membrane, thylakoid, chloroplast envelope, and plant-type cell wall. The gene is associated with seed growth and development, root thickness, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, plastid and chloroplast development, manganese sensitivity, osmotic response sensitivity, abscisic acid sensitivity, thermotolerance, photosynthetic activity, and pigment defective embryo traits. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast protein import, plant growth, seed development, plastid development, abscisic acid signaling, and root growth.
