TAIR Computational Description | J-domain protein required for chloroplast accumulation response 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Contains a J-domain at the C-terminus which is similar to the J-domain of auxilin, a clathrin-uncoating factor in cow, yeast and worm. Arabidopsis contains 6 other proteins similar to auxilin. Expressed in leaves and stems, but not in roots. Localized in the cytoplasm. Required for the chloroplast accumulation response, but not for the avoidance response. No molecular function known. Influences the composition of photosynthetic pigments, the efficiency of photosynthesis, and the CO2 uptake rate. Positive effect on water use efficiency (WUE) by reducing stomatal aperture and water vapor conductance; involved in the fine-tuning of H2O2 foliar levels, antioxidant enzymes activities and cell death after UV-C photooxidative stress. |
