HSP70 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G419600 (HSP70) in sorghum chromosome 1 encodes a heat shock protein 70, an ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone with ATP hydrolase activity and heat shock protein binding capacity. The gene is associated with protein refolding, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, response to virus, detoxification, protein breakdown, protein folding, programmed cell death, response to stress, response to heat, and cell death. It localizes to the ER chaperone complex, ER lumen, chloroplast membrane, membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and axonemal central pair projection. The gene is also linked to heat tolerance.
