SRP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT7G112520 (symbol SRP) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) on chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein belonging to the REF (rubber elongation factor) family. The gene is associated with protein membrane targeting, protein targeting, protein transport, and proteolysis, and its product localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress-related proteins and the REF/SRPP (stress-related protein/rubber elongation factor) family, including SRPP and REF/SRPP-like proteins such as OsI_017815. The gene has been connected to related sequences in soybean and common bean, as well as an uncharacterized gene in an unspecified species.
