HSP70 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400000398 (HSP70) on potato chromosome 11 encodes a heat shock cognate 70 kDa protein, 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 in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, nucleosome assembly, protein refolding, and detoxification. It is linked to stress response, immune response, response to virus, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, cell division, chlorophyll fluorescence, and nitrogen oxide storage. Associations also include sterol anabolism, sucrose metabolism, fatty acid anabolism, and lipid metabolism. The encoded protein localises to the ER lumen and chaperone complex, chloroplast membrane, tonoplast, cytoplasm, nucleus, and membrane. This gene is linked to proline content, net photosynthetic rate, and photosynthetic rate. Related genes in other species include BiP3, BIP, HSP70, SCE70, HSC-I, and HSC-2.
