CYP — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G258000, designated SbSQN and also known as 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. The gene is associated with protein folding, regulation of protein refolding, and activation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. It is linked to responses to abscisic acid, salt, and mannitol, as well as activation of the salinity response. The product localises to the chloroplast stroma, cytosol, cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits such as grass weed characteristics, though this is not established for sorghum.
