CYP — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G257900, also known as SbSQN or CYP, encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (EC 5.2.1.8) with cyclosporin A binding and cis-trans proline isomerase activity. This sorghum gene on chromosome 10 is associated with protein folding and the regulation of protein refolding, as well as activation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis and secondary metabolism. It is linked to responses to salt, mannitol, and abscisic acid, and to activation of the salinity response. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species have connected the cyclophilin family to traits like grass weed characteristics.
